"Oil and Marble", By Stephanie Storey
From the time period of 1501 -1505, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Michelangelo Buonarroti both lived and worked in Florence. The author gives us insight, some factual and some embellished facts into the relationships and events during the creation of their two most famous works of art. The two artist openly disliked each other,and there was much rivalry among them.
During the 5 year time period in Florence, the artists created two of the most popular and outstanding works of art. DaVinci's "Mona Lisa", and Michelangelo's "David".
We discussed the book with the use of "zoom". All seemed to enjoy the book and many of us had the good fortune to view one or both of these pieces of art. The zoom meeting was interesting but of course, lacking the closeness and the sharing of refreshments and laughter.
This too shall pass and we once again will hug and laugh, share experiences, and stories "face to face". Hope all we well, and prayers for those who are having difficult times.
We are good here and thankful for so much.
Love to all,
Rosemary
