Musei Vaticani Part Two

hall of expensive sh*t/Raffaello ceiling/stained glass altar/St. Sebastian/St. Sebastian and Irene

A few more photos from the Vatican museum. I got the first hall kind of emptied of people since we went early in the morning and immediately ran to the Sistine Chapel (which was somehow still filled with people). Its the only room in the museum that you can't take photos in, and the ceiling was very nice but I really preferred The Last Judgement wall. I looked at it (listening to the Kronos Quartet, which I've found is a great soundtrack for museums) for about twenty minutes it seemed, and I still was finding things I had missed.

I'm posting the School of Athens separately, so don't think I missed it.

St. Sebastian is my favorite depicted saint. So I've taken a lot of photos by different artists in different periods, etc. Here's two that were a bit different. I'd love to see one of Mantegna's St. Sebastians though... his are kind of why I fell in love with this particular saint's imagery in the first place.
