Detail of the 'star' at the centre of the vault of the Lady Chapel in Wells Cathedral.

Wells Cathedral nave vault

The Lady Chapel, designed by Thomas of Witney, was complete by 1326. Large decorated windows with medieval stained glass (restored) flood the octagonal chapel with coloured light. It is one of the finest medieval chapels of its kind in the country.

A riot of ribs in the vault of the Quire and retrochoir of Wells Cathedral.

Damaged by an earthquake in 1348, the original church on this site was abandoned. It was brought back to life around 1417 by the Colonna family who owned much of the surrounding area. Indeed the church of Santi Apostoli was almost considered the Colonna family chapel. The facade was changed much later and is quite unusual, making the church look almost like a palace. There is a Renaissance double loggia, and nine arches with statues resting atop. The fresco above the altar is one of the true masterworks of the Roman Baroque. Giovanni Odazzi's "Fall of the Rebel Angels". Similar to the Gesu church located nearby, the angels appear to tumble out of their frames and into the church below.

Первая часть так понравилась мне самой и моим друзьям (даже из Австралии пришел коммент по-английски, зафрендила меня девушка оттуда- для нее выкладываю прекрасны фото австралийских соборов), что вот- продолжение.
У меня есть прекрасная книга, Кен Фоллет-"Столпы земли", там про то, как люди строили первые готические соборы, путем проб и ошибок учились возводить своды, как годами вытесывали скульптуры и кружева из камня. Но и сюжет там очень интересный, зачитаешься- Англия, XII век, смутное время, жестокая эпоха. Вот здесь ее можно скачать:http://lib.rus.ec/b/81345
Фотографий совершенно обалденных очень много,
так что пишите- какие потолки выложить, там можно попробовать поискать отдельно по стилям.
