Florence Uffizi Wallpaper

Friday, July 4th, 2008

Dear blog’s friends… here we are with new images for your desktop.

It seems like a oil paint!

Well, this is an artistic view of Florence: Uffizi gallery and the Arno river from Ponte Vecchio.

Building of the palace was begun by Giorgio Vasari in 1560 for Cosimo I de’ Medici as the offices for the Florentine magistrates - hence the name “uffizi” (”offices”).

The cortile on Uffizi is so long and narrow, and open to the Arno River at its far end through a Doric screen that articulates the space without blocking it, that architectural historians treat it as the first regularized streetscape of Europe…

Try art on your desktop ;o)

Florence Palazzo Vecchio wallpaper

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Here’s the 2nd wallpaper today…
Palazzo Vecchio in Florence is the protagonist of this new image. A particular perspective captured before dusk gives the building a magic aura, which recounts his long history. Ancient seat of the Florentine Republic and Signoria, which takes its name to the square below, today houses the municipal administration of Florence.

Here are exhibited works of great masters of the Renaissance: Michelangelo Buonarroti, Donatello, Verrocchio. The Tower of Arnolfo, one of the emblems of the city, dominates the sky.

Don’t miss it!… :)
