Scorvegni ChapelItaly (Europe and North America)
Date of Submission: 01/06/2006
Criteria: (i)(ii)(iii)
Category: Cultural
Reason: This chapel is one of the key works of art from a major turning point in the western tradition; it shows the transition from gothic art to the more natural forms associated with the renaissance.
Sorry my internet connection is very slow, so this is a little limited. You can't take pictures inside the chapel so there is not much I could show via flickr, but
here are the reviews on this site which are all exceptionally glowing.
Sorry if it is not in the spirit of the photos of the site but I hope the reviews can add some colour.
I like this idea of the best of the tentative list by the way (especially as I am mapping them it would be good to know which ones to look out for), when I get home I will see if I can trawl through and add a few more. Would certainly second (third?) the FLW nomination.
Though could we perhaps add a quick sentance as well about why they are so good?
