Description:

This course focuses upon Renaissance art and architecture from the 14th to the 16th century, from Northern to Southern Europe. We will explore developments in the visual arts within the political, cultural, and social context that marks the emergence of Early Modern Europe. In addition, the careers of individual artists from different locals will be explored in depth, providing students with an understanding of the similarities and differences that comprise Renaissance art across different countries. Lastly, we will explore topics central to the period that fundamentally changed subsequent artistic practices for centuries, including: the guild system and forms of patronage, the notion of artistic genius, the importance of the signature, the rise of artist's biography and the field of art history, the emergence of "known" women artists and patrons, etc. PRQ: Junior standing, ART 245 or 246; or consent of instructor.
