AAH 348 - Baroque and Rococo Art

Institution:

The College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

This is an upper-level course combining slide lectures, discussion, and student-led analysis of scholarly articles. The years between 1600 and 1750 were characterized by tremendous social, political, and creative ferment which provided the foundations of the modern world. Largely created in Italy by the needs of the Counter-Reformation church, the Baroque may be seen as oscillating between the quest for classical order (The Carracci, The Academy, and Poussin) and the exuberant expression of feeling (Caravaggio, Bernini, Rubens). This period also saw the rise of the art market, with patronage gradually shifting from the traditional hegemonic powers of church and state to private individuals, whether aristocratic (The Fete Galante) or middle class (genre painting).
