Episode 1: Should I care about a basket of fruit?
Manage episode 321768341 series 3322577
Here it is, the first ever edition of The Blind Eye! Our goal here is help people (including Mike, one of the co-hosts) understand some of Italy's iconic art.
In our very first episode Mike and Antonella take a look at Caravaggio's famous work La Canestra di Frutta or Basket of Fruit in English. Mike shares his perplexities about how a seemingly simple basket of fruit could be so important and Antonella offers (patiently) some insight on the deeper metaphors and some insight into Caravaggio's hidden messages to humanity.
