Art History Tours

Following the trail of Piero della Francesca
You are invited to take part in a week’s historic tour on location
in and around the lovely hill town of Cortona in Tuscany. The tour
will include visits to several important cultural centres such as
Assisi, Siena, Arezzo and Orvieto, where you will see some of
the most significant works by artists of the Early Renaissance
era. (Pictures and Gallery)

The itinerary has been carefully designed to allow study and
discussion (supported by slides) of the political, social and
religious climate that influenced many of the works. There will
also be lots of time for sight-seeing and leisure activities.

Your guides will be Graeme Willson and Carol Coller. Graeme is
well known both as a professional artist and lecturer with a
particular sympathy for this period of Art History.
Carol moved to Italy from the USA 23 years ago and has
worked as an Art historian, guide and has been involved in
many archaeological explorations & restorations.
