What to see first and why it matters?
Today, meaning often collapses into utility, but the Vatican confronts you with a different logic.
Form and matter reconciled.
The verdict you feel isn’t opinion but recognition that reality is MEANT TO shine with beauty.
I was there last week. Should have seen this post before I went. Just saw an overload of beautiful paintings, without knowing what was portrayed. Split second attention for every painting because it was just too much.
A magnificent grand tour of the Vatican Museums! Everyone who has the opportunity to do so ought to visit.
