Quite wonderful. Very special to be able to view Caravaggio's original work for real. Worth waiting for the church to open!
I try not to review Rome's most famous attractions because.....it is really not needed. It's a wonder, an open air museum, a marvelous walk through time and history. Rome has to be experienced, and by feet. Sights, sounds, smells...everything belongs to the experience. I make an exception for San Luigi dei Francesi because i am "in love" with Caravaggio and here is exhibited my favorite painting: the calling of St Matthew. There are no words to describe it: this painting speaks to your heart, "talks" to you and shows that when the eyes of faith enlighted the genius amazing, unbelievable things can happen. Two more Caravaggio paintings are there: martyrdom of St Matthew and St Matthew and the Angel which complete St Matthew cycle. However, here is much in this Church such Domenichino paintings, another giant of Italy's art. Read aboutbthis Church prior visiting it: you'll enjoy it much more
Such amazing decoration and architecture! The church is big with plenty to see, having a guide book was handy as there's not much information around the paintings and monuments within. There is 3 Carravaggio paintings which are all worth seeing!
卡拉瓦乔为的画当然是很值得一看,教堂很好找,就在纳福纳广场左边,这个都市的心脏地带。但是要刚好在它开门的时候去是需要有一点运气的。我是直到第三次去的时候才撞上他开门的,前两次门都没开所以我们只好去了圣王路易堂。绕了几小时后我们又回到了那个地方,真是不走运!或者是有一天我们好不容易到了那,却发现他们早就关门了。我想,那里关门是不需要任何理由的。但是,那是罗马,这样的情况怎么能一再发生呢?这情况对于我们来说已经不是第一次了,当然也不会是最后一次。我们甚至都不得不学着接受这件事,没事一样的接着去下一个目的地。但是,如果你的运气好的话,或许可以遇到教堂开门的时候的,那是你就可以看到卡拉瓦乔圣路吉的画了。
This was a place that I was taken to by a client while in Rome, He said if I had only enough time to visit one place then this should be the one, well I won't argue with a local but I would say that I'm glad I did these paintings were fantastic and it has filled me with the desire to come back to explore more of Rome when not on business, highly recommended to anyone looking for something special
In beautiful decorated Church of San Luigi dei Francesi you can find briliant painting from Caravaggio, which is the main point of interessent in church. It is quite shame that place where the painting is located is very often crowded as well as the whole churche, so the atmosphere is not so spiritual. But it is definitely worth to visit!
Caravaggio paintings are large and well lit, and the location is central though it can get crowded..
圣路吉教堂位于纳沃那广场附近,其两条东边的路上,白色正面较大,也不算很华丽,没有特别显眼的装饰。一进去内部却相当华丽,大理石柱和天顶金色装饰光辉耀眼,天顶画主祭坛的装饰也不错。不管怎么说,这里的亮点是主祭坛左边的礼拜堂,这里有卡拉瓦乔的三部作品,光亮与阴暗的对比很精彩。
这间教堂的位置很正中,就在纳沃纳广场的旁边,很值得一看。三幅画作都表现得很棒,而整个教堂简直美翻了。而真正不错的是在这个地方的游客都很少挤挤嚷嚷的,我们来这好几次了,因为我们就住在附近,从我们的酒店步行到其他地方也都挺近的。教堂星期四这天是不开放的,不过十月份时就会一直开放了。
