I'm doing class prep and I know I haven't fully recovered from con.txt when I'm slashing 18th c. British architects:
...travel to Greece was hazardous, making firsthand inspection of Greek monuments difficult. Stuart and Revett spent four years visiting Greece in the early 1750s, where they formed their preference for Greek art
Oooh adventurous, slightly uptight, British gentlemen exploring sexytimes amidst the Greek monuments. Perhaps not the best topic for lecture tomorrow.
eta: This image of Revett from wikipedia isn't helping my procrastination.
