medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
As usual, these photographs are outstanding, Genevra; thank you so much for sharing them with medieval-religion.
I wonder what the triangle on the head of “lamenting personification” is meant to be? http://www.kornbluthphoto.com/images/FlorenceBaptMosaics_13-1.jpg

I was able to get permission to photograph with a tripod while the building was closed to the public, so although I did not have time to document the whole building, I did shoot quite a lot. I also got to try out a new 300 mm lens on details of the dome mosaics. There are seven web pages, accessible from the index page

The captions reflect what I have found in the literature, but as always, I would appreciate hearing about any needed corrections. And there is one image that I can't identify, a grieving figure in the Last Judgment that I have simply labeled, "lamenting personification?". Can anyone help with this?
