Saint Peter’s Apse in the Vatican

Michelangelo was an absolute genius in all plastic arts as well as architecture. The exterior of St. Peter’s apse, which is only visible from the Vatican gardens, is a sudden and great transition to the Baroque Renaissance. Unusual proportions, curved and broken walls, and a staggering attic. New tends to be bad but good is always new.
