Prof. Skillen teaching us about The Life of Benedict

It's been a busy month in Orvieto, so I have once again neglected to post! Mi dispiace. This past month has been filled with our Renaissance Narrative course, learning about frescoes and taking excursions to see the art in its original context. First we visited Arezzo, to see the Legend of the Holy Cross fresco.Then we drove through the rolling hills of Tuscany to see frescoes from the Life of St. Benedict and the Life of St. Augustine in Monte Oliveto and San Gimignano. I am thankful to see so much history firsthand!
