RE: “Mercato di San Lorenzo” An Original Oil Painting by Matthew Holden Bates
You are an exceptional artist to follow @mateopaints. Your #art speaks for itself but your way of introducing us to these pieces gets better and better and little more exciting each time. I’m glad we met.
You mentioned the scaffolding has been in place for “years,” what do you think they’re doing the whole time with the bell tower? Do you think they’re removing it or rebuilding it?
Happy Sunday, Matteo!
Thanks Dan! Yea, about the scaffolding, I don’t know what is going on there. There may be some structural concerns, or they simply ran out of money. Firenze is constantly under repair. Renovation and restoration are part of the very fabric of society here. Since everything is always falling down on its own weight, they are constantly having to prop it back up again. It’s too bad about the tower, it is such a pretty piece of architecture! At least you get to see it in my painting 😉
