Proposed Short Art Tour of Florence 2010
Our icon painting tutor, Peter Murphy, would like to run a short 5 day art tour of Florence. Peter is a Byzantine and Early Italian scholar and would like to share his knowledge with you. The itinerary will be kept to the major galleries: the Uffizi gallery and the Fra Angelico gallery at San Marco, and the churches which contain major works: The Duomo Baptistery, Santa Maria Novella, San Miniato al Monte and Santa Croce.
Once again – we haven’t finalized dates for this tour as Peter is happy to be flexible and fit in with your availability. Numbers will be strictly limited for this tour – so please let me know as soon as possible if you are interested in coming along suggesting dates that are suitable for you.

So – as you can see we have lots going on and I hope that something in our programme appeals to you.

We hope to see you soon.

Warmest wishes Martin
