You can feel the energy of the place. Knowing that 600 years before one of the greatest painters of the era lived there and walk where he walked and have the opportunity to see some of his staff it gives you goosebumps. And the representative of how he made his engraving and then the multiple copies of his art.. was just fascinating.
