showstopping. that's the light here. it's no wonder the tuscan sun is legendary. look what it can do.
and then, look at how, in the hands of the fresco painter below, the painted light and 2-d semblance of architecture blend almost seamlessly with the real light and real architecture. they are incredibly hard to distinguish *(the column and everything else on the curving wall here is all trompe l'oeil, or fooling of the eye), tickling the soul with the awe of subtle and careful beauty placed right there for
whoever has eyes to see and ears to hear.
