AHIS 242 - 17th Century Art II:The North

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

During the 17th-century, Northern Europe was convulsed by a continuous series of civil, religious, and economic upheavals. In defense of their authority, monarchies promoted increasingly rigid ideologies, which paradoxically resulted in an extraordinary rich and varied range of artistic and architectural projects in the service of both rulers and private individuals. This course studies Flemish and Dutch artists such as Rubens, Van Dyck, and Rembrandt, as well as the English architects Wren, Vanbrugh, and Hawksmoor, and examines the means by which their art and architecture helped define the cultural landscape of early modern Europe. This 200-level course will require two papers, four one-hour examinations, and a short class presentation. In addition, there will be a field trip to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. 1.00 units, Lecture
