Eric is assistant professor of Fine Arts, Goucher College. He spoke on "Van Dyck: Legend and Reality" at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Eric studied in Italy in 1962-63 under a Fulbright travel grant and is the author of several books and articles on Seventeenth Century Italian Art.

That's it for this column until next fall. I'd like to apologize for the lack of news these past few issues, but it's all we had. Hope to do better next year. You can help by writing. Have a good summer!
