Tell Me a Story

The frescoes tell a story: a king with leprosy, messengers visiting the Pope, a baptism, the Pope is crowned. Today’s art is so much less lively: we capture moments, or indescribable modern art blobs. I suppose some would say it is more lively, since we can tell our own story, but sometimes it is nice to have it explained to us; sometimes it is nice just to read and not write.
