ART 368 - Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael

Institution:

Catholic University of America

Subject:

Art

Description:

This seminar will examine the historic life and remarkable work of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Raphael Santi, arguably the three most consequential figures in Western Art. We will focus on the significant relationship, and sometime rivalry, between these figures. We will also evaluate the dynamic theoretical, theological, philosophical, political, and economic contexts from which masterworks like the Last Supper, Sistine Ceiling, and Vatican Stanze emerged. Furthermore, we will examine these artists¿ seminal roles in shaping many of the notions we associate with the modern artist, including concepts such as artistic genius and subjectivity. Throughout the seminar, students will approach the material critically coming to terms with issues of historical interpretation itself.
