The Blind Eye

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.
