The National Gallery of Art has an online tour this month of the ONLY examples of Italian Renaissance frescoes in America. If you can't get there to see them, here's the next best thing!Each frescoe has an accompanying narrative (the set is a series telling the story of Cephalus and Procris from Greek mythology) as well as other background information.
Interested in a different online tour? Here's their list of available tours.
The NGA website is an absolute goldmine of resources. Spend some time digging around and you'll be amazed at what you find!
