E22: Getting one's education in the Renaissance. Rob and Gracelyn have a fascinating conversation about the education of the patrons and more importantly the artists.

This is actually one of the first podcasts that we taped over 1 year ago.  Gracelyn and Rob decided to delve into what makes the Renaissance tick in terms of how well educated were people. The Renaissance is not only a movement of art but also philosophy. They ask the question about the aristocracy and the elite of the church and also of the artists and how well these people were educated? How were the the themes of the Sistine Chapel and Raphael Rooms created? Were they just created by the artists alone or was there a whole process and group of people working together in the creation of such wonderfully complex imagery and beauty.
