Fresco Painter of Florence

✦ Your Soul Summary ✦

You painted frescoes on the ceilings and walls of Florentine churches, which required you to work lying on scaffolding above your face for eight hours a day, applying pigment to wet plaster in a race against the drying that allowed no hesitation and no correction. The scale of the work was enormous — a single ceiling took two years — and the physical difficulty was continuous. You would not have exchanged it for any other life. The intersection of the enormous and the irreversible produced in you a quality of attention you had never found elsewhere.
