Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

This course explores Renaissance texts, images, and contexts. We compare the experience and the artifacts of two cities, one Italian and one outside Italy, in order to assess the viability of "the Renaissance" as a pan-European cultural label; we note the pressures of urban and court life on cultural production; and we observe the interaction of intellectual and aesthetic self-confidence with the concerns of politics and patronage.
