Florence- Duomo Study

Duomo Study
9 x 12  Oil Painting
by Pat Fiorello
$400





I've thought about painting the Duomo in Florence many times during my travels to Italy, but the building is so huge, complex and ornate that it is daunting. ( It actually took over 100 years to build and the dome was a major architectural feat at the time).

This week,  I finally attempted this subject in a small 9 x 12 study which required me substantially simplifying things. I was tempted to put in all the green marble design, but I gave up on that for something this small, just trying to capture the essence of the building shape in the context of the hills of Florence as a start.
