For a brief period during successive lockdowns people who would never have time to share their world found time to do so. Googling for the painter John Aldridge today I came across well-written notes on art from his nephew, Milo Dickinson.
His page on the Lisa del Giocondo, wife of a Florentine silk merchant (painted 1503-6) is a particularly interesting read. He finishes with a photo of the work's final resting place. An expression of implacable composure reaches out to us across half a millenium.
