...Hang in there, Iron Mike! The April 28 concert on the steps of Memorial Church well complements our domestic salad days: what better slogan of peace and prosperity than the words, “The sky was gold, it was rose / I was taking sips of it through my nose?” It’s a message we can all enjoy. Yardfest’s opening act, the Upwelling, has drawn comparisons to Pink Floyd, the Police and Leonard Cohen. Commendable influences to be sure, but one wonders if the College Events Board mightn’t have...

The facing profiles of the Duke and Duchess of Urbino are iconic Renaissance images, especially the Duke, Federico III, one of the Renaissance's most accomplished condottieri, or mercenary barons. Painting with brilliant color and unfiltered realism, Piero doesn't blink at the prominence of Federico's nose and chin, but he never crosses into caricature. His approach gives Piero's portraiture a strikingly modern aspect. "It is almost hyper-realism," Bertelli says. "The faces are gigantic compared to the background landscape, making them monumental." The same attention to character is evident in his frescoes. La Madonna del Parto...
