ARHI 43314 - Seminar: Mannerism/Painting and Sculpture

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Art History

Description:

This course will explore the artistic rends in Italy after the High Renaissance (ca. 1520) and before the Baroque (ca. 1580), and will begin with definitions of terminology and a brief historiographic survey. Our attention will then turn to the Roman art of Raphael's heirs, Giulio Romano, Perino del Vaga, and Polidoro data Caravaggio, and the emerging Tuscan painters Pontormo, Rosso Fiorentino, and Domenico Beccafumi. We will also investigate the dispersal of the Roman school: Giulio Romano to the Gonzaga course in Mantua, in 1524, and following the Sack of Rome by imperial troops in 1527, other maniera artists to Genoa, Bologna, Parma, and as far as the French royal chateau at Fontainebleau. Rome consequently experienced a revival at the end of the reign of Clement VII, and under the pontificate of Paul III, notably, the arts, politics, and theology flourished. This period may be marked by such diverse works as Michelangelo's monumental Last Judgment (1536-41) and his frescoes (1542-45) in the Pauline Chapel, Vatican Palace, the decorations (1536-51) by various mannerist artists in San Giovanni Decollato, Perino's elegant frescoes in the Sala Paolina (1545-47), Castel Sant' Angelo, Giorgio Vasari's fantastic murals in the Palazzo Cancelleria (1546), and Francesco Salviati beautiful, secular frescoes in the Palazzo Ricci-Sacchetti (ca. 1553-54). Attention will also be given to the art of the Counter-Reformation in Rome, and to painting and sculpture by Bronzino, Salviati, Cellini, Bandinellui, Vasari, Giambologna, and others a the Florentine courts of Dukes Cosimo I and Francesco I.
