On this, May 2, in 1519, Leonardo da Vinci drew his last breath. It was many centuries until the depth and breadth of his creative genius in both art and science was fully appreciated. Modern scholarship continues to add to this amazing story.

In celebration of his brilliance, I pay humble homage to Leonardo by sharing photos of monuments to him, his masterpiece paintings, along with anatomical drawings from his personal papers, all of which I’ve been fortunate enough to see first hand.

Today, March 20 is the first day of Spring! Let’

Today, March 20 is the first day of Spring! Let’s celebrate with Botticelli's Primavera, or Springtime (1477).

Reading the narrative from right to left, we see Zephyr, the first wind of Spring, kidnapping the forest nymph Chloris. He impregnates her with a breath and transforms her into the deity Flora, the clearly pregnant woman who is scattering flowers. Botanists have identified over 500 species in this painting!  In the center stands Venus, the Goddess of love, and above her is Cupid, the child from her union with Mars. The model for Venus, and for many of the goddesses and Madonnas painted by Botticelli is Simonetta Vespucci. Botticelli was in love with Simonetta who died of tuberculosis in her youth. He was so in love that he asked to be buried at her feet after his death, over three decades later.  Look closely at the position of Venus and the shape of the sky between the branches in the second image. She is center, or the heart of the composition. Is there any goddess more perfectly suited to represent the heart? Further, she is flanked between two lung-shaped openings in the flora! Is Botticelli highlighting the connection between Love (Heart, Venus) and Life (Lungs, Divine Wind, Breath)? Is he paying homage to his love, Simonetta, who died from a respiratory ailment?

Botticelli’s Primavera is a perfect example of the Connection Between Art and Anatomy in Italy!

Happy first day of Spring!!

Today, March 19 is the Feast of Saint Joseph, Patr

Today, March 19 is the Feast of Saint Joseph, Patron Saint of Fathers and Workers, as well as a symbol of Patience and Fidelity.

March 19 is also Father’s Day in Italy! On a day when the Earthly Father of Jesus is honored, all of our Earthly Fathers are also rightly celebrated.

Pictured here in the first photo is the Baroque Chapel of Saint Joseph in the Church of Saint Dominic (San Domenico) in Palermo, Sicily.

The second image is the facade of San Domenico, located in the historic center of Palermo. Dating back to the Middle Ages, the current structure was built between 1640 - 1770, and replaced the medieval church too small for the growing needs of the community.

Happy Saint Joseph’s Day, and Happy Italian Father’s Day!

Today, March 9, is the Feast of Saint Catherine of

Today, March 9, is the Feast of Saint Catherine of Bologna. An Italian Franciscan Order Poor Clare nun, she died on this day, 558 years ago. Patron Saint of artists, the liberal arts, and against temptations, she has been venerated in Bologna from the time of her death in 1463.

Upon her passing, Catherine was buried in the convent graveyard. After eighteen days however, a sweet smell emanated from her grave. Her incorrupt body was exhumed, and displayed in a chapel dressed in her religious habit and seated upright, where she remains. In these images, she can be seen through a lighted window from the main church into her sanctuary.

The Faithful are welcome to visit her to this day, in The Church of Corpus Domini, also known as Chiesa della Santa, in Bologna, Italy, where she has been sitting, patiently, for over five centuries.
