Letter to the George Bush Team to Visit City Florence

Dear Sir,It is swell honor for me to be a guide for George shrub in Florence. I will do my best to ensure that he remembers Florence as the just virtually beautiful place on Earth and realizes why this city is literally a magnet attracting touring cars from the close remote aras. E rattling person who is brotherly of art needs to higgle this gorgeous spot at to the lowest degree once in his t iodin. Florence gets visited by tourists in the millions because it offers them an astonishing variety of come onlooks. level though one day of being in Florence is by no means enough to grasp the whole feeling of the city, it shag unflustered create an overwhelming delight in the persons heart, and exercise him thirsty to see more during the following visits. It is my goal to help George Bush get immersed into Florences atmosphere from the very jump minutes of the visit. He will be able to look why Florence is one of the cosmeas most enjoyable cities. He will never block off this beautiful experience and keep desiring to return here many measure in the future.Due to the short length of the visit, I have headstrong to pick out the most liaisoning sites for the President. We will have clock to visit only three places of interest, but I can stop up you that they will all ascertain a great deal about the history of Florence and its uniqueness. In our city, we have enough monuments to keep a tourist occupied for years, but even a day is enough to understand that there is no similar place on Earth to Florence, no matter how a great deal you look. I want to organize this excursion in much(prenominal) a way that George Bush realizes why Florence is considered the cradle of renascence. many an(prenominal) tidy sum know that Florence was the Italian city which gave birth to reincarnation, but very few of them can actually explain why. In order to be able to answer this question, one needs to get acquainted with the masterpieces of Renaissance artists. They do not have any analogues in the world they atomic number 18 absolutely unique. Every piece of art created during that epoch breathes with the feeling of exemption and unlimited inspiration which knows no borders.I want to show such pieces of art to George Bush so that he hears them talk to him through ages. The first place of interest which we are de subprogramure to visit will be The Casa Buonarroti, the rear in which outstanding artist Michelangelo lived then we will proceeded to Romanesque typeface which is famous for scenes from Old Testament created by Lorenzo Ghiberti on its doors and finally we are going to visit Brancacci Chapel the frescos of which were gradually painted by Masolino, Masaccio and Filippino Lippi, the most famous Renaissance artists. All of these places are very unique, and they can tell a great deal about the Renaissance epoch.The Casa Buonarroti is going to be particularly interesting for the President because this is the place where Michelangelo lived and created his masterpieces. There can be nothing more ungodly than starting to visit to Florence from visiting the house of the perhaps the most outstanding artist of Renaissance. Even though Michelangelo did not step in his house for many centuries, it is possible to feel his front line there many years after. The house was transformed into a museum by one of Michelangelos relatives, Michelangelo Buonarroti the Younger, in 17th century. The museum not only has created mold of Michelangelo, but also painting of other famous artists depicting the scenes from his life and his virtues. It is impossible to avoid visiting this museum during the visit to Florence.Romanesque baptistery is going to come upon George Bush due to many reasons first, it is one of the oldest buildings in Florence and thus tells a lot about its history second, it would appeal to the Presidents interest in religion third, it has scenes from Old Testament created by famous Lorenzo Ghiberti on its doors . Lorenzo Ghiberti is one of the most famous sculptors of his time. It is common truth that these days, some people would pass by this legendary building even without stop. Some little people do not appreciate these masterpieces as much as they should.However, Romanesque baptistery needs to be noticed and remembered by everybody because nothing can compare to Lorenzo Ghibertis creative work on its panels. The gates which he created into the baptistery were called gates to paradise by his contemporaries. genius can good tell which scenes from Bible the artist depicted. He worked most of his life on these pieces of art, and they impress tourists until these days. In the middle panel there is a scene of Jacob and Esau depicted. All of the characters of the Bible are painted in such a way as if they are alive and are almost going to jump off the panels.The last site which we are going to visit is Brancacci Chapel. It has very unique architecture and it famous for the frescos graduall y painted by Masolino, Masaccio and Filippino Lippi. The history of painting frescos for this chapel is really impressive. In the beginning of fifteenth century a Florence ambassador to Egypt commissioned Masolino to paint the frescos for the cathedral.After completing some work, the famous artist charged his student Masaccio with this task, and Masaccio brilliantly coped with the part of the work which the master assigned to him. However, Masolino did not have a take chances to finish the work entirely due to his death, therefore, the frescos remained unfinished until Filippino Lippi, another famous artist, added the last strokes to the paintings in the end of 15th century.This chapel will be particularly interesting for George Bush because it will tell him very much about the differences of styles of one of the most famous Italian painters of all times. One can easily capture slight differences between the strokes done by Masolino, Masaccio and Filippino Lippi because each of th em had his own unique style. However, the frescos turned out completely extraordinary as the result of their combined work.I very much confide that the visit of George Bush to Florence turns out very enjoyable. All of the sites which I picked out for him are going to let him fall in love with Florence during one day, and look forward to going back soon.Bibliography. subterfuge History Gardeners Art through Ages. tidy sum 2.
