Staff Support is studying Renaissance Art. I know what you're thinking. It sounded pretty highfalutin to me too. It simply caught his interest. Maybe it's a lingering virus embedded in the flu bug he just fought off.
He's using the excellent The Teaching Company lecture series from our local library. Lectures and beautiful art pieces displayed right on his computer. But he didn't stop with the DVD's. Nope. He tooled the net for something interesting. He found this. Be patient, it takes a couple seconds to load.

It's so darn cool. Stunning art by Renaissance Masters and an opportunity to get up close and personal. Click on the M at the bottom and take a 360 degree look from any angle.
This is as close as I'll ever get, even if I was standing in person on the floor of the Chapel.
