The Certosa di San Martino offers up a treasure trove of De Mura paintings and frescoes. The museum staff is friendly and helpful, copying their records and files for us. I snapped this in the wonderful, old church-turned-museum. Maria Grazia, (you met her earlier, she’s our friend from the Pio della Miseriacordia) met us later at the Nunziatella, an Italian military school where De Mura painted the chapel ceilings. Instead of pews, the chapel has row upon row of red velvet chairs. His work is so beautiful there, we shake our heads as to why he has never had an exhibition!

Comments from Arthur Blumenthal's Student:
- "Just a note to express to you my sheer pleasure for your inspiring class ... I have been awed and changed by it! Not only do I "see" art in a richer, fuller way, but the class allowed me to validate my own impressions. Having to verbally express my reaction to a work of art engaged all my sensibilities. Thank you for transporting me from a viewer to one who "owns" Massimo Stanzione's painting of "Rest on the Flight into Egypt." You taught me to go beyond seeing to "entering" (internalizing) a masterpiece and experiencing its energy and deeper dimensions."

ART AND BEAUTY
- "For they (art and beauty) are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never visited." C. S. Lewis
