This weekend I arrived back in London from a fantastic two week trip to Umbria. As is usual for my family holidays in Italy, we spent time reading and relaxing, but also visiting local towns and soaking in as much renaissance art as possible. Although I loved the two books I read while I was away (David Bordwell's Figures Traced in Light and Nikos Kazantzakis' Freedom and Death), I thought I'd go for a visual quote this week, celebrating some of my favourites from among the artworks we saw.
Lamentation over the Dead Christ by Luca Signorelli 
Pala di Santa Maria de' Fossi (detail) by Pinturicchio
The Miracle of the Spring by Giotto
Saint Francis by Cimabue
The Annunciation by Fra Angelico
