Click and Clack, those lovable car mechanics of the airwaves, had many running jokes in their decades-long show, but probably none was so often used as their jabs against anyone studying art history. It was amusing to hear their wise-cracks, and for a while, you might’ve convinced me they were on to something. But then last October happened.
Where was I? Well, on October 8, I was standing outside the Vatican Museum door, shivering slightly in the (very) early morning air, waiting with my pilgrimage group for our tour guide. We didn’t have long to wait, and we were soon being ushered into the museum by none other than art historian Elizabeth Lev — living proof that dear Tom and Ray were wrong about the pitfalls of this line of study.
