Oh thank you for letting us go inside. How absolutely gorgeous. I need to stay a few minutes and take it all in. question: the walls. Is that a trompe l'oeil finish or marble? The columns appear to be marble but the walls and ceiling?? Amazing.
Virginia, some of the church is marble and some trompe l'oeil - so so I believe. I was surprised no one stopped me taking photographs and also that the light inside was so good so I do plan on going back and taking more. (I have a few more interior photos already and will publish those after the 'lunch' series).
And Laurie, yes, but I simply put the camera on the floor and set the self-timer. Another time I'd aim the camera slightly higher to take in more of the ceiling. Chuckeroon from Richmond upon Thames DP taught me this trick. Really works well in churches.
Very beautiful.
