WELCOME FRIENDS, FAMILY & FACULTY!

This blog is an art history experiment for our Italian Renaissance travel course. We hope that you, our visitors, will not only take some time to read about what we are studying, but will ALSO feel free to make comments or ask us questions...especially after we see (most of) these things in person. As we travel, we will offer personal reflections on our experiences. After we fly out on the 17th, follow us as we visit Rome (May 18-20), Florence (20-24), and Venice (24-25). We return on Thursday, May 26...just in time for the holiday weekend.

Fra Lippi’s Annunciation

•The mood of the picture has little to do with classism
•2 angles= witnesses to the moment of Christ’s incarnation. Distracting
•There is a glass vase with water in the foreground, reflects the garden. Expected in Netherlands more then Italian. = awareness of artistic developments North of Alps.
