With only about 10 days to go before departure the prepping and in some cases packing has begun. Part of the prepping is the assigned reading. The book that we're using to inspire and contextualize what we will be seeing is Painting and Experience in Fifteenth-Century Italy by Michael Baxandall. I'm about half way through and am enjoying it. The book should do for us what the back cover reviews say: "…sharpen their observation, widen their outlook and stimulate their curiosity."
Happy Holidays and Reading.
