The presentation was simply singularity. Outstanding in terms of awakening curiosity for further study of everything Leonardo
Enjoyed this lecture immensely. It was well thought-out, provided plenty of information. I appreciated the visuals and her broad overview. Definitely though it was worth the fee and my time. Thank you.
Professor Yantz was excellent and convinced me of her conclusions so well, I changed my mind on the subject!
Awesome seminar. Dr. Yantz uses the very intrigue of the sale of the Salvator Mundi to integrate Renaissance art, and its distinctive aspects such as humanism, science, perspective and invention, Art Restoration (or not to restore!), modern day Art Auction Houses, etc., filling us with such great information and then let us form our own opinions of the Salvator Mundi. Also, she gave us lots of great recommendations of books, movies, and even youtube videos to continue our own exploration! I spent 1/2 the evening looking at the references she gave and the other half telling my husband how great the seminar was!
Jayne Yantz is a fantastic presenter! She ignited my curiosity about Leonardo and in the days that followed the presentation, I continued reading and watching stories about the Salvator Mundi painting. I can't wait to see other lectures by Jayne in the future!
