Description
In 2018, the Harvard Art Museums are celebrating the Calderwood Courtyard, to honor the 500th anniversary of the site that inspired its design. The two-story arcade is a replica of the facade of the canon’s house of San Biagio in Montepulciano, Italy, an ecclesiastical complex designed in the early to mid-16th century by Renaissance architect Antonio da Sangallo the Elder. Situated on a clearing overlooking the Val d’Orcia and Valdichiana Valleys, the San Biagio complex is a popular attraction for visitors. Experience it virtually from the Harvard Art Museums’ Calderwood Courtyard, a near exact replica of the canon’s house of San Biagio.
