Baltic vaults

In Art and history by Roger Thomas

I am always astounded at the variety found in a single architectural form in a small geographic area.

While traveling in the Baltic Region, ceilings as varied as asymmetrical monochromatic cubist vaults and poly-chrome neoclassic and Baroque confections followed one after the other as palaces and churches revealed the essence of their purpose. To inspire or impress, the rich variance is a revelation of the history of the region and the shifts in politics, religion and fashion.
