A trip to Florence inspired these postcards. Florence was truly a home to the Renaissance Masters. The sheer number of good quality paintings and sculptures are likely to inspire even the most artistically inhibited individuals to take up a brush. 

The postcards are of:

- The Florence Cathedral

- Statue of David, by the legendary Michelangelo

- Statue of Leonardo da Vinci, outside the Uffizi Gallery

- Statue of Perseus with the Medusa’s head, outside the Uffizi Gallery

- Painting of the ‘Birth of Venus’ by Botticelli

After being completely blown away by the awesomeness of the Sistine Chapel, I decided I had to give one last tribute to the Renaissance master, Michelangelo. 

And so, here they are, captured in postcard form, in my own style/ interpretation. The first is one of his most famous sculptures, of David just before he goes off to battle Goliath, located in Florence. The second, also in Florence, is a statue of Michelangelo outside the Uffizi Gallery. The third is a statue of Michelangelo above the entrance to the Vatican Museum, seated alongside Raphael, another great Renaissance Master.
