Just back from the Piero tour – shocked as ever at just how small and yet utterly vast is this picture; and how impossible it is to see all or even most of what it contains, even with ten or more quiet minutes and no interruptions from tour groups. With bright spotlights reflecting off its protective glass, it is also almost impossible to photograph; but at least one get up really close, which reveals so much.
My details of the urban perspective (a and b) are much closer to the actual sense and colour than the published ones (c and d).
