Ask our medieval art experts anything in our first Tumblr Answer Time, Thursday, July 28!

Alex and Bryan work with the Getty’s illuminated manuscripts, a collection of handmade books from the Middle Ages through the early Renaissance. They’ll be answering questions about medieval life and art, Game of Thrones, going green in the Renaissance, and more. 

Leave a question in our ask box now and starting on Thursday, July 28 at 9 AM PT (12 PM EST) they’ll be answered.

Bryan and Alex are the brains behind our Game of Thrones meets Medieval Art recap series and ThyCaptionBe, our weekly ‘caption this’ project. 

Their current projects and areas of interest?

  • An upcoming exhibition on “greening” the Renaissance
  • Researching hand-painted books in the Age of Print
  • Medieval pocket monsters
  • Global Middle Ages
  • Renaissance Italy from the black death to the Medici dukes.
  • Game of Thrones and Fantasy

*Whew*

See you Thursday!
