Month: February 2016

On Sunday 14 February Professor Tom Henry discussed Luca Signorelli’s Lamentation over the Dead Christ in Cortona on RAI 3 (Italian state radio) in a series entitled the Museo Nazionale. Links follow below (n.b. this programme is in Italian). The short English summary is that this picture, in which the figure of Christ may have been based on the artist’s drawing after his adult son, assumed special importance to Signorelli after his son’s death later that year.

BUON ANNO

Kent in Rome’s MA programmes kicked off over the last couple of weeks in fine, mild weather. In addition to various classes, activities and social events up at AUR, we leapt into our programme of on-site visits to the Forum, the Campus Martius, the Vatican Museums (including Fra Angelico’s Cappella Niccolina which is normally closed) and various churches. The students are settled into busy schedules with lots of assigned work but seem to be enjoying themselves and we have some very interesting visits ahead. I am particularly looking forward to taking all of the students to Tivoli in April, and before that the art historians have trips to Florence, Orvieto, Perugia and Spello as well numerous visits in Rome.
