Description
*There's no other place in the world, which I would die for.
No other one, which makes me cry for emotion, the way I do here.
I owe to my town, all the sense of respect for beuaty, people and culture I have.
All my inspirations, blossomed from the treasure of living in this corner of paradise.
I tried to find a poem , among millions written by so many writers about my town, that could express what I feel when I immerse myself in the sight of Florence.
But I couldn't find any,not even from my beloved Dante that could express the immense joy of my heart when from Piazzale Michelangelo I see this sight I have painted.
Forever grateful, that I can call Florence "My Home".
Wherever I'll live and go, this will always be the only place I would love to rest at. Until and after the end of my days.
Come here one day, all of you.
And I hope, that you will then understand me in full.*

Semplicemente, la migliore opera che tu abbia mai dipinto.Ma Firenze, per quanto bella, non lo quanto te.

Tr beau travail Mel (Florence est une tr belle ville que je ne connais pas), j'adore les couleurs, le trait cela change du style que tu pratique en gal pour dessiner tes "portraits", "personnages"...

This is the best you've ever done. And the best I have ever seen in the 2D gallery. I didn't want to use the "Favourite" feature as it doesn't look any useful to me, but this one I had to add there in the Images at least. A masterpiece.This is real art.

I have saved this one on my hard drive (what an awful word for such a piece of art from you). I have travelled a lot. I love Florence. This city means love to me. This one deserves to be in the 'Galleria degli Uffizi'. Thanks Mel, thanks so much...

Meli...I don't know if there are words enough to fully embrace the compositional genius and detail you have invested in this work. I was so very amazed by the sketch and the detail that was present, but you have out done yourself. Beautiful, vibrant colors fill the image with golden tones blazing through each painted brush stroke. I can see by this flawlessly beautiful painting just how much you love Florence! Wonderful!

The very strong orange-red colour works really well, especially with the dark emerald green. Excellent.

One of my favorites from you, love everything about it. Excellent colorisation of reality. Good use of color to obtain depth and contrast. Hard work inspires me, this goes into my inspiration folder!
mandrake74
like your painting there is no doubt and thats what i think you're an artist. I notice the opposition between the dark and the bright side of the city this is great...:)

After seeing this one I cant believe that you refuse to call yourself an artist! This is classic!

Wow. This is amazing. Like, really amazing. It has an almost (almost) cezanne typed geometry on some of the buildings, and the space...the contrast, color, layout, any formal element you can imagine, it is done here, and done well...not well...its done with amazing skill, moreso than most of the painters i ever saw in school. This is like post impressionism all over again. Wow. Later later
