Description:

There are three major themes in this course: the rise of philosophical skepticism (pyrrhonisme) and the New Science, and their impact on ideas of painting; the relationship between new "practices of the self" and practices of knowledge; and political centralization and the emergence of the police state. We discuss major artists (e.g., Nicolas Poussin, Philippe de Champaigne, Georges de la Tour, Claude Lorraine, Charles Le Brun) and lesser-known figures (e.g., Laurent de la Hyre, Lubin Baugin, Eustache Le Seur, Valentin de Boulogne). Readings are drawn largely from primary sources. Texts in English. R. Neer. Autumn.
