Cattedrale

The majestic interior of the Duomo di Milano.The repeating patterns of the marble floor was another reminder of Escher.Light through the stained glass window, cast onto the pillar.  Sublime.But I was also reminded of the macabre preoccupations of the Catholic church, like this ghastly statue of the flayed St. Bartholomew…or the corpse of a former archbishop.  This reminded me of other mummies I’ve seen on display and how I feel increasingly conflicted about the propriety of displaying human remains.
