Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

LAIS This course surveys the complex visual culture of early modern Spain, with particular attention given to El Greco, Goya, Murillo, Velázquez, and Zurbarán. The class examines the formation of a distinct Spanish style within the context of European art and considers how Spanish artistic identity was a kind of hybrid, complicated both by Spain's importation of foreign artists (Rubens, Titian) and by its relationship to the art and architecture of the colonies. Subjects studied include palace art, architecture, and interior decoration as visual manifestations of Spanish power; devotional art; Spanish artistic theory and the training of artists; the art market and collecting; and artistic critiques of monarchical power.
