I will look at this painting in the future with far more awareness of what is depicted. Thank you.
Thank you Leslie for your talk on Giotto’s Adoration of the Magi- it was insightful.
I look at this depiction in a totally refreshed light, having always thought of Giotto as rather stiff and austere. Not at all, I now realise! Thank you so much for a fascinating discourse. [ and I particularly like the eastern sheep - and goat ]
Thank you for a lovely start to my day
A lovely informative talk presented beautifully. Thank you
A very good talk,and food for thought, thank you , a beautiful painting.
Thank you Leslie Primo for such an excellent presentation of Giotto's works of art. I have placed the visit of the Scrovegni Chapel on top of my bucket list.
Leslie Primo's talk on Giotto's Nativity is excellent.
If you miss a day (the email you receive always opens the current day), you can still see previous days' content. Here's one way: open today's webpage from the email you've received, 'click' on "home" in the banner picture at the head of the webpage and a new webpage opens showing all the calendar. 'click' on the square for the day you wish to see and that day's webpage will open and you can view the content. You can't open future days - a message appears saying "wait", so no cheating allowed!
Wonderful painting and fascinating commentary. Thankyou.
