ROME SESSION

Rome, a Mecca for painters and sculptors since the seventeenth century, continues to serve as muse and subject for beginning and established artists. Participants will become part of the fabric of the city, as they paint and draw directly from millennia-old landmarks and in the gardens and streets of lesser-known areas. Peter Benson Miller, accomplished art historian and Rome resident, will lead regular on-site discourses and field trips. The curriculum will be complemented by evening lectures and receptions at the American and British Academies and by visits to the city's diverse contemporary art galleries.
