Dear Art Lover,
In my
quest to find a hi-res scanner (without rollers contacting the art) for all of
the professional painters in Firenze, I found this little gem!
The film is amazing and I can guarantee that I never
saw the underground part of the Baptistry for the price of my ticket some time
ago. This is so cool: http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/pressrelease/making_the_past_present_with_light_warmth_and_a_high_tech_gaze
Most people know that the Baptistry and even the
famous Duomo (Cathedral) of Florence, Italy, were built upon Roman ruins. Why not? So many other places in and out of
Italy have Roman pasts! I found this
video truly incredible.
Anyway, my search for a Cruse Scanner here in Italia
whose use is available to professional contemporary artists continues. I went to an Open Studio this morning for the
Palazzo dei Pittori [Palace of the
Painters], which is almost never open to the public, according to my Florentine
sister who went with me. We spoke to a
man about some scanning, so I have a new contact. Sadly, thus far my search turned up a Cruse in Pisa, but it
is only allowed for restoration work… and usually of dead artists. Boh!
How can this be so hard in Italia to find?
Anyway, the big news now:
Happy birthday, DAD!
Peace,
Kelly Borsheim, artista
