Comedy as History
I just spent two weeks in Italy, most of that time in Rome, a city that contains architectural and artistic wonders on a scale that’s difficult to describe. What kept capturing my eye and imagination, though, were innumerable, minute details in a sea of history—fascinating alleyways, ancient doorways, intricate fountains, forgotten piazzas.
While there I visited the Vatican Museum, and en route to the Sistine Chapel and Basilica Sant’ Pietro encountered this small marble mask. Just one more incredible, fine detail from an amazing place.

This reminds me of one of those really, really old black & white horror films where the terrible, scary faces would start small and then loom into the screen out of the darkness. Great texture. I feel I have a complete sense of what the stone feels like.
