In this photomontage, a young woman gestures toward a round stained glass window that appears to float. It has a blue background and shows two small groups of men gathered in front of a narrow column.

On this tour, Jane Lilly ’27 will discuss boundaries and in-betweenness, exploring how we see and move through works of art. The stops on the tour include a lintel (Fez, Morocco, Marinid period, early to mid-14th century); a stained glass window, titled Scene from the Life of Thomas Becket (Canterbury, England, c. 1190–1205); and the painting Piazza San Marco, Venice (c. 1730–34) by Canaletto.
