Another excellent seminar with Dimitra Pilarinou! She is a natural teacher who weaves a thorough, informative and enlightening story of four historical periods through four pieces of art in this seminar, while also touching on geography, history, myths and religion, culture, artistic techniques and more. Highly recommended.
