Artist's Description

Oval staircase by Francesco Borromini in the Palazzo Barberini, Rome,1633-1634.

Bottom view of Borromini's Helicoidal Staircase in the Palazzo Barberini. This staircase serves the south wing of the palace, and complements a bigger staircase by Bernini on a principle both aesthetic and functional. Accessed by the external portico, Borromini's was intended for a more private use.

The staircase is helicoidal and has a flattened oval plan, thus providing easier ascent than circular staircases. Each turn comprises 12 Doric double columns with capitals decorated with small bees (the Barberini family’s heraldic symbol). Light comes through the oculus above as well as the windows in the façade.

Spiral-shaped structures, with all the problems involved in their design, were particularly congenial to Borromini’s eccentric spirit: he devised them in several drawings and in the architectural details of other works.

Hi there, Born in '72 and shooting pictures since '83, I particularly enjoy creating wide panoramic compositions, HDRs, HDR Panoramas... But not just... Here you will find landscapes and cityscapes, ancient ruins and modern buildings, moons and seas, planes and boats, guns and flowers, animals and machines, forests and deserts, vanguard and prehistory, digital and film, color and black & white, graves and newborns, temples, trenches, palaces, castles, tanks, churches, bunkers... However, they have some things in common: they are meaningful images, I believe them all to be beautiful, and they are for the most part unique. Come in and judge for yourself. W. W. WE CAN CUSTOMIZE ANY PICTURE TO YOUR PERSONAL LIKING AND MAKE IT...
