Twenty of My Best Art and Image Posts

Part II of my favorites collection, posts that consist mainly of images. There is an arbitrary element here, since I decided to include only one cathedral, one Romanesque church, and so on. I wanted this post to give a sense of the range of things I like and have featured. Once it is ensconced on the right-hand margin in the favorites box I will probably rotate the posts.
