solitude sunday

solitude sunday at the whimsey project.  our day to spend time with a book.

moving right along with the thomas cahill, hinges of history series, i am now reading volume six: heretics and heroes.  thus far i have read about all the great artists of the pre-reformation era; donatello, verrocchio, leonardo, masolino, masaccio, francesca, botticelli, michelangelo, caravaggio and bernini.  to read about all of these artists in the context of their era, their time in history became a more cohesive whole. the most important characteristic of the art is that it defines the culture as is and also moves the culture forward.
