Art History trip to Florence

The Rome MA History of Art students spent two days in late February racing around Florence in the company of Prof Tom Henry (Academic Director, Kent in Rome) and Dr Claire Van Cleave (independent Raphael scholar). They tracked down where Raphael is said to have lived when in the city, the original locations of his paintings and of the many works of art he studied whilst there. The question repeatedly asked was ‘What would Raphael have seen when he came through that door?’. Everyone got stuck in to a deeply thought-provoking discussion.
