Subject:

Description:

C. Guile This course surveys the art of 17th-century Italy, France, Spain, and the Netherlands, focusing on the works of artists such as Caravaggio, Velázquez, Rubens, and Rembrandt, among others. The course considers issues of patronage and explores the interactions between artistic production and political, religious, and scientific developments of the day. It also addresses one of the core paradoxes of the period - that startling innovation and creativity were not inconsistent with serving the purposes of states and ideologies that at first appear rigid and authoritarian.
