This is the most interesting historical review that I have the opportunity to see. The thought that this city lies within other interesting Historical areas is absolutely fascinating. We will be in the area in September of this year and expect to visit Mantua.
One of the many things I appreciate about this seminar is that I have begun to see trends and characteristics in the works of the artists that I can trace back to previous seminars by Dr. Steer. I have been to many museums and cathedrals in Italy and have appreciated the art only aesthetically. It makes SUCH a difference to have background and history and information about the artists, their works, and the cities. I want to see these in person with a much broader perspective, thanks to Dr. Susan Steer. Thank you for this seminar.
Dr. Steer always presents a very inspiring & thorough review. Mantua was excellent as always. Thank you sir much.
Very informative. I appreciated the geographic walk through the town, showing each location/art.
This was the second time I took this seminar. The first time was very informative and enjoyable but now I am planning to visit Mantua and I wanted to pay more attention to details about visiting the city in person. Dr. Steer provides plenty of those details along with her description of the artistic highlights. I am now in a great position to plan my visit to Mantua.
