As I mentioned yesterday, the Accademia had an enormous number of paintings in the upstairs gallery. Many of them were altar pieces. An unusual thing I noticed was the subject of the coronation of Mary appeared multiple times. Christ is shown placing a crown on Mary, the Queen of Heaven.

| Altar piece with Annunciation at center |
 |
| Fresco fragment of shepherd by Giotto |
 |
| Saints Agnes and Domatilla |
 |
| Detail from enormous tapestry (altar hanging), tiny embroidery stitches |
 |
| Scenes from Mary's life |
Not at the Accademia; the next day I was out for a walk in the late afternoon and caught the sun on the Duomo with the Baptistery in front.
