The librarian promised to reserve a book for me;

Publisher; Yale University Press 1971

Author; Mancusi -Ungaro, Harold R.

Title; The Bruge Madonna and the Piccolomini Altar

I decided to research the Bruges Madonna by Michaelangelo, for four reasons;

1 Heinrich Wolfflin states that the statue is not well documented. 

2 I plan to visit Bruges in December

3 I'm thinking of proposing a feature on the subject to a magazine.

4 The statue had instant appeal for me when I first saw it reproduced in a text book while studying Fifteenth Century Italian Art with the OU, c.1996-7
