John Singer Sargent

Each time I go to Italy, I like to have a "theme."  Sometimes it's an artist--Giotto, Artemisia, have been recent themes.  Once I did "Overview of Western Civilization" when traveling by car throughout Southern Italy and Sicily.  This next trip one of the themes will be John Singer Sargent, an American artist who was born in Florence.  The Strozzi Museum will have an exhibition entitled "Americans in Florence," which opens March 2, 2012:  http://www.palazzostrozzi.org/Sezione.jsp?idSezione=683
