Acerca de The Blind Eye

This podcast is for anyone who is curious about Italy's artistic masterpieces but isn't quite ready to commit to pursuing a degree in art history. Mike Manchester, American from Denver who has lived in Italy working with Study Abroad students for almost 2 decades discusses art with his friend and art history teacher, Antonella Filippone. Each week Antonella chooses a work of art. Mike asks the questions that many people are too afraid to ask. Together they discover and explore the fascinating messages that lie within Italy's iconic masterpieces as well as some lesser known gems.

Episode 5: (Very) Old School

If you were going to create an all-star team of philosophers, who would make the cut?  What would your squad look like?  How would they interact with one another?  In the fifth episode of our podcast we take a look at Raphael's masterpiece, "The School Of Athens [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_School_of_Athens]", which is essentially an all-star cast of Greek philosophers re-imagined for modern times.  Of course, by modern times I mean Raphael's modern times in the 1500's.  Listen as we talk about who's who among great philosophers and why it matters so much that this fresco is on a wall on the inside the Vatican.  If you'd like to interact with us, leave a comment, or go on a rant we'd love to hear it on our facebook page [https://www.facebook.com/blindeyepodcast] on on twitter @TheBlindEyePod. Thanks!

Episode 2: Make Room For Peace

In their second episode ever, Mike and Antonella embark on the ambitious task of explaining an entire room full of art.  The Sala Dei  Nove [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Allegory_of_Good_and_Bad_Government],  AKA the Sala Della Pace  (The Room of Peace) in Siena, Italy is literally covered in frescoes from top to bottom.  The images date back to the year 1338 and offer an immensely profound message about responsibility, human welfare, peace and how to achieve it.  The frescoes are known as The Allegory of Good and Bad Government.  700 years have passed since the artist, Ambrogio Lorenzetti painted the walls of this room but his message rings surprisingly true even today.   Antonella helps us understand some of the medieval ideas and metaphors and it becomes very clear just what a treasure this room is  for all of humanity. We encourage everyone to take a look at the The Allegory of Good and Bad Government [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Allegory_of_Good_and_Bad_Government] and reflect on the current state of affairs (and of course, share our podcast with everyone!!!).
