Description:

This course introduces students to painting, sculpture, and architecture in Italy from 1200-1475, a time span that encompasses the "Italian Gothic" as well as the EarlyRenaissance. Lectures examine the development of style, focusing on the revival of antiquity in the visual and textual cultures. Special attention is given to patronage, urbanism, and the creation of civic spaces. Florence, Siena, Venice, and Rome are our primary focus, as are artists such as Giotto, Ghiberti, Brunelleschi, Donatello, and Botticelli. Students will become familiar with writers of the period and adept at critically reading primary texts. ( Fall '08)
