We have been busy the past two days in Rome. Yesterday, we studied ancient Rome by visiting the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Capitoline Museums. Today, we focused on the historical impact of classical Rome on Renaissance artists beginning with the Proto-Renaissance “Stefaneschi Triptych” by Giotto and ending in the Sistine Chapel with works by a variety of Renaissance painters including Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Perugino and Michelangelo.

Hi Lisa, These are good pictures and I recognized her right away. I know she is having a time and I thank you for sending them. When we get our computer cleaned up so we can print I will print them.
Have a really nice day. Today was beautiful but tomorrow looks questionable.

I apologize for the previous comment. My mother-in-law did not quite understand about this blog. I will explain it to her about about the blog concept. Again, sorry.
