The staircase and the Kaisersaal were in fine shape. The older residence of the bishops is a castle, on a hill across the Main. Fans of the sadism thread of a few days back may note that it contains a well-equipped torture chamber. <br /><br />The subject matter of much of Tiepolo's work is alien to the modern eye, but he is a wonderful artist with a superb sense of color, movement and composition. Thanks for posting these shots.Lapinbizarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686990585795363001noreply@blogger.com
