I showed last Friday the court of Palazzo Carignano. Today I go to show you a detail of its façade. Please take a min to enlarge the photo and to watch carefully the details of motifs in relief by bricks. Palazzo Carignano designed by Guarino Guarini (In the second half of the XVII century) is the most high example of Piedmontese Baroque. More to come...
Ho mostrato lo scorso venerdì il cortile di Palazzo Carignano. Oggi vado a illustrarvi un dettaglio della sua facciata. Per cortesia spendete un minuto per ingrandire l'immagine e osservare attentamente i dettagli dei motivi in rilievo realizzati con mattoni a vista. Palazzo Carignano, disegnato da Guarino Guarini (nella seconda metà del XVII secolo) è il più alto esempio di Barocco Piemontese. Presto altri dettagli...
Fabrizio,
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are so crisp and full of detail. I am in awe. This photograph, when enlarged, just took my breath away. To add to the drama, the curve of the building is just amazing. I might just have to come back at another time for another look.
An architectural delight! This angle really shows the detailed craftsmanship and brings it all to life. Gratzi!
ReplyDelete*Grazie! (oops!)
ReplyDeleteI love the perspective & the detail!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Love the curve of the building and of course, the details of the facade.
ReplyDeleteI also love the curve on the building and the perspective you have used makes it very dramatic. Beautiful building.

Such a beautiful photograph. Enlarged, the detail is fabulous. Oh well done, Fabrizio. I love the soft, old colours in the brick, those wondrous curves and all the detail. A delight! I know you love this building.
ReplyDeleteThe view is dizzying and fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful but when I enlarged the photo, I felt quite dizzy looking up. Sort of reverse vertigo if there is such a thing. The motifs are superb.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a beautiful image, and yes it does give one vertigo, but it worth it.
ReplyDeleteJilly is right. I love so much this building but it worth it. I hope to be able to show you it's most intersting details, in the meantime: thank you very much about your comments.
ReplyDeleteFabrizio, it must be really hot in Torino too: this building is melting!
ReplyDeleteMore seriously, it is absolutely gorgeous. And the angle you choose to showcast its curves is brilliant.
beautiful detail, though i do feel a bit dizzy!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning photo. Amazing detail and curves on the building. Very unique.
