Welcome to my website project for my HIST423. Here you can see blogs created detailing random thoughts and other details that I've found when writing my 489. A timeline detailing the important dates relating to the Grand Tour specifically and details on how long approximately the correspondents were in Tuscany. And finally a map of the major towns and cities visited in Tuscany. The colour choice of the website is also a deliberate choice, since it is Tuscan yellow and accurately reflects some of the colour of Tuscany. The Grand Tour is chaotic and manic compared to modern travel and I hope that in these blogs will reflect the madness and chaos found in the below picture (Parody of the School of Athens, Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792), 1751, National Gallery of Ireland)
