点评:The Medici chapel is connected to the church of the family - the San Lorenzo - but entered separately from the back in the Piazza di Madonna degli Aldobra.
It consists of a large open space with burial plaques in the ground centered around the burial monument of Cosimo the Elder whose sarcophagi supports the vault of the crypt. This monument can also be seen from the church of San Lorenzo side through the bars on the other side.
The main attraction though are the 2 larger chapels.
The New Sacristy - Sagrestia Nuova - contains the tombs of especially Lorenzo Magnifico, and is surrounded by statues of the times of the day - Night and Day, Dusk and Dawn. The sacristy and the tombs are designed and executed by Michelangelo and his strong masculine statues are easily recognizable from his male portraits in the Sistine Chapel frescos.
The other chapel - the Cappelle dei Principi or Chapel of the Princes - is far more imposing. A octogonal chapel under a 59 meter dome it contains six massive marble sarcophagi surrounded by marble work on the walls, the floor - everywhere and in every color possible.
The sarcophagi are empty, but the artwork is impressive.
Definitely worth the visit and no need to reserve your spot here - open every day from 8.15 to 18.50. You will need around 1 hour to visit it properly.
翻译:美第奇小堂与家族教堂——圣洛伦佐教堂相连,但需从后方的阿尔多布拉圣母广场(Piazza di Madonna degli Aldobra)单独进入。
小堂由一片开阔的空间组成,地面上安放着墓碑,围绕着老科西莫的墓碑,他的石棺支撑着地下室的拱顶。从圣洛伦佐教堂一侧,也可以透过另一侧的栅栏看到这座墓碑。
不过,主要景点是两座较大的小堂。
新圣器室(Sagrestia Nuova)内有洛伦佐·马格尼菲科的陵墓,周围环绕着描绘昼夜、昼夜、黄昏和黎明的雕像。圣器室和墓穴均由米开朗基罗设计和建造,他那充满阳刚之气的雕像与西斯廷教堂壁画中他创作的男性肖像画相得益彰。
另一座小教堂——王子小教堂(Cappelle dei Principi),气势更为宏伟。这座八角形的小教堂拥有59米高的穹顶,内有六具巨大的大理石棺,四周环绕着大理石雕琢的墙壁、地板,以及各种色彩的装饰。
这些石棺是空的,但其上的艺术品令人印象深刻。
绝对值得一游,无需预订——每天8:15至18:50开放。您大约需要1小时才能完整参观。
