Jennie did an excellent job on Parmigianino. Her in depth coverage makes me want to go to Parma.
I have attended numerous seminars led by Dr. Hirsh, and this latest on Parmigianino was excellent. I particularly enjoy the passion that Jennie has for the subject matter and is able to convey to the listener. I learned a lot about the transition from the high Renaissance to Mannerism, and how Parmigianino fits into this period. I'm inspired to return to the area of Parma to visit the Rocca di Sanvitale in Fontanellato, to see some of these works in person. Looking forward to more fascinating seminars with this expert!
General overview only. Could have been much better with a little more effort (better preparation?) and passion.
