There's an ethereal magic to standing beneath a dome, neck craned, looking up at a vision of the heavens created by some long ago figure of genius. From the Pantheon to the Hagia Sophia, the power of the dome seems transcendent. Photographer David Stephenson's magnificently kaleidoscopic images of dome interiors capture this evanescent drama, and make "Visions of Heaven" one of the most spectacularly beautiful books we've ever produced. Traveling from Italy to Spain, Turkey, England, Germany, and Russia, among other countries, and photographing churches, palaces, mosques, and synagogues from the second to the early twentieth century, Stephenson's work amounts to a veritable typology of the cupola. His images present complex geometrical structures, rich stucco decorations, and elaborate paintings as they have never been seen before. Brilliantly calibrated exposures reveal details and colors that would otherwise remain hidden in these dimly lit spaces. "Visions of Heaven" shows more than 120 images, including the Roman Pantheon, the Byzantine churches of Turkey, the great domes of the Renaissance, the decorative cupolas of the Baroque and the Rococo ages, and a nineteenth century synagogue in Hungary.

Visions of heaven,这名字起的真好。 当我们讨论文艺复兴或者巴洛克等风格建筑的时候,我们只在意他们的外部形式和内部空间组织,却不曾抬头看看这些精美绝伦的天顶画。穹顶富有中心性和进深感,在这上面作画本身就是一件难度很大的事情,画师不仅要躺着画画,而且还得兼顾画面的透视效果。 精致的,富有故事性的穹顶画和周边向心分布的,富有光影效果的装饰,列柱等元素,共同构成了极富空间感和纪念性的画面...

除了宗教人物(前37页都是)画人一堆堆看得审美不能以外,有几幅穹顶真的很惊艳。主要拍得这么正这么有观赏价值不容易啊。感谢。

You'ar so close/ and it's you that I believe in/ So close,but faraway,I seek for your light/ I'll hold on/ Cuz for you my heart keeps beating/ When the wind,the fire,and all is gone/ Caress me with yo... You'ar so close/ and it's you that I believe in/ So close,but faraway,I seek for your light/ I'll hold on/ Cuz for you my heart keeps beating/ When the wind,the fire,and all is gone/ Caress me with your sweet lullaby...

在央美附近的一家书店淘的,纯英文的,完全看不懂。刚开始被封面吸引,然后对内页里的图片着迷,太美了,都是教堂里的穹顶图的照片。最爱那些纯几何形的穹顶,最近看艺术史得知这种几何形的天顶的首创者是巴洛克建筑师波洛米尼。膜拜大师。
