One of the most spectacular and ominous churches in the world, it's the embodiment of Roman Catholic Church. Designed by Michelangello, Bramante with sculptures by Bernini, St. Peter's Cathedral is believed to be the tomb of St. Peter. The photo is HDR - taken with 3 different apertures and combined in Photomatix.
I went to Rome for the past Thanksgiving for a few days, and was absolutely amazed by this ancient city! I saw a lot of inspiring works of art from Greek and Roman sculpture, to Colosseum, to mind-blowing sculptures of Bernini, Sistine Chapel by Michelangello and Vatican rooms by Rafael. I took many pictures of artworks. sculpture, city scenes and anything that I though looked interesting, and everywhere I looked all around me was all inspiring and breathtaking! This shoot of Mythological depiction of Laocoon is in Vatican in the garden composed of ancient Roman sculptures, that were found in escalation in the Forum area of Ancient Rome.
I have some free time these days and I plan to upload all my pictures on my flickr, please check some of them here
One of my favorite acrylic paintings I have done quickly with striking pose and energetic brushstrokes. I think I've captured the moment of time full of inspiration and expression.
