Mark your calendars: on Monday, September 7, Liz Lev will be offering the first FREE web lecture of the year!

I'm Every Woman: A Brief History of Marian Imagery

No woman had been depicted more than the Virgin Mary, whose image graces homes, chapels, street corners, mountaintops, and catacombs. From the earliest age of Christian iconography, the most creative minds have thought about how depict the Mother of God, and, within the strict confines of theological accuracy, they have produced amazing varied results. In honor of the feast of the Birth of the Virgin on September 8, Liz Lev will take you on an adventurous tour of Marian imagery through the ages, and demonstrate how Mary, despite her singularity in human history, relates to rich and poor, learned and unlettered, active and contemplative. As we start our autumn web lectures, we invite you to Fall in love with Mary through beautiful art!

Welcome to the first episode of this series, where we travel around Rome to discover the favorite works of the Masters! For our first episode, Lorenzo Cori brings us to the beautiful Santa Maria in Trastevere, where the Ca****la Altemps tells a story of familial love, political intrigue, and the need for mercy.

As we approach the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, LLT expert guide and archaeologist Livia Galante took one of her groups to Saint Paul Outside the Walls. Praying in front of the tomb of St. Paul and the chains which bound him during his imprisonment, we had the opportunity to reflect on this upcoming holiday as something more than a day off work or a night of fireworks. Join the live web lecture with Liz Lev next Monday, June 29th, to learn more about these two saints and why they are so special to the city of Rome!

So much of the most beautiful art in Rome can be found off the beaten path. This is why today, at 2pm EST, Liz Lev will be offering a free lecture over Zoom entitled "Beyond Bernini: Masters of Baroque Sculpture." During the lecture, we will explore some of the oft-overlooked sculptors of the 17th century, hopefully encountering some works that we've never seen before, but which strike us just as powerfully as the most famous pieces in the Vatican Museums. We hope you can join!

Don't miss Livia Galante's free web lecture today at 2 PM EST: "The Caelian Hill: Hidden Churches and Buried Worlds." The first of a two-part lecture series, this webinar will explore the underrated archaeological sites of the Caelian Hill here in Rome. Often, history lies beneath our feet, and we don't even realize!

A few days ago, we learned that the jury of the Venice Biennale--one of the most important international exhibition spaces for contemporary art--resigned over debates over the participation of Russia and Israel.

The Masters' Gallery acknowledges that art has always been intertwined with politics. However, there is a difference between using art to unite people with different perspectives and using it as a tool to punish your political opposition. Furthermore, it is not effective to punish artists simply due to their country of origin, many of whom do not even agree with the actions of their government.

Couldn't art be used for diplomacy? Can't it be a way of understanding the other? Those who criticize dictatorship and censorship cannot turn around and put both into practice.

The Biennale will officially open in just a few days. We at the Masters' Gallery wish all of its artists the best of luck and the freedom to express their perspectives through art, whether or not we agree with it.

From March 14 to August 23, an exhibition is on display in Florence, entitled "Rothko in Florence." At the Museo di San Marco--home of Fra Angelico's Annunciation and Last Judgement, to name just two--curators have chosen four abstract works by Mark Rothko to exhibit alongside Fra Angelico's spiritual scenes. The display of these works alongside one another is utterly luminous. It reminds us that art is a living field, one which develops in a dialectic, one which should provoke us to reflect not only on our own souls but on the soul of our times.

Don't miss my free live lecture today at 2 PM EST, where I will be walking us through the incredible Museo Pio Cristiano within the Vatican Museums. Entitled "From Martyrs to Majesty: The Story of the Pio Cristiano Museum," this lecture will tell the incredible story of our first saints and the art which commemorates them.

Livia Galante, PhD--archaeologist and guide with LizLev Tours--recently visited the exhibition inside the Trevi Fountain, entitled “Maarten van Heemskerck and the Fascination of Rome: Visual Journeys through the Eternal City." According to the brilliant Livia, this exhibit "is far more than a display of Renaissance drawings—it is an immersive exploration of how Rome was mapped, imagined, and reassembled through the eyes of a Northern artist encountering it for the first time. What makes this show particularly compelling is its focus on the idea of visual cartography: not just maps in the strict sense, but drawing as a way of navigating, understanding, and ultimately reconstructing the city."

Read more about Livia's experience and understanding of this fascinating exhibit in our newsletter! Send me a DM to be added to the mailing list.

One of the best things about booking a tour with LizLev Tours is that you can book a tour of the Vatican Museums for 6:30am, before the museums even open for the day. This allows us to speak at a normal volume (and be able to hear!), get one-on-one time with the sculptures which inspired Michelangelo, and get a private moment of awe in the Sistine Chapel.

This morning, it was so foggy that you couldn't even see the dome of St. Peter's Basilica from the courtyard!
