Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei martiri
Made by sgatto
From wikipedia: The basilica is dedicated to the Christian martyrs, known and unknown. It was also a personal monument of Pope Pius IV, whose tomb is in the apsidal tribune that culminates the series of spaces. The thermae of Diocletian dominated the Quirinal Hill with their ruined mass and had successfully resisted Christianization. Michelangelo Buonarroti worked from 1563 to 1566 to adapt a section of the remaining structure of the baths to enclose a church. Some later construction directed by Luigi Vanvitelli in 1749 only superficially distracts from the grand and harmonious Michelangelesque volumes. At Santa Maria degli Angeli Michelangelo archieved an unexampled sequence of shaped architectural spaces. with few precedents or followers. There is no true facade: the simple entrance is set within one of the coved apses of a main space of the thermae. The plan is developed from a Greek cross, with a transept so dominant, with its cubical chapels at each end, that the effect is of a transverse nave. Notice the size of this place... people are just ants ! HDR from a single exposure, 12mm f4 1/2 sec, hand held. --------------------------- My Latest Creations

The cross vault is decorated by Antonio Bicchierai and Giovanni Mozetti. In the middle of the vault is the Holy Spirit with a cherub, and in the panels the four Western Doctors of the Church: Sts Jerome, Augustine, Ambrose and Gregory. ~Churches of Rome Wiki
