The grid Quattrocento Portraits is now on view in the Vatican Museums at the foot of the stairs to the Sistine Chapel

 

When I visited the Vatican last Thursday I was amazed to discover that the second grid that I made for the project A Matter of Light, Sistine Gestures: Quattrocento Portraits, was now on the wall at the foot of the stairs to the Sistine Chapel while the grid that’s usually there is on loan to the Casa Buonarroti. When I expressed my amazement, Micol Forti, the curator, merely said with a wry smile, “well, all the nails were already in place.”
