ARTH 052. Renaissance Art in Europe
This course employs a thematic approach to considering the major artistic, architectural, and cultural achievements of the Renaissance and the early modern period in Europe (1450-1750). Turning away from traditional approaches to Renaissance art, which are often defined by chronological or geographical boundaries, we will concentrate on four issues central to the artistic culture of the period: the artist as individual genius, technologies of artistic production (oil painting, printmaking), courtly art and patronage, and the arts of exploration (maps, cross-cultural influence). In each of these four sections, we will explore artworks from multiple geographies, including northern and southern Europe, couching the major artists and artworks of the Italian and Northern Renaissance within conceptual frameworks that highlight their interconnected nature and their relationship with other people, places, and movements.
