University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

This course offers an overview of the art and material culture in France, Germany, and the Netherlands ca. 1350 to 1570 through selected case studies. As a secondary goal for nonmajors, it is designed to introduce methods and issues in art history. We study the development of new artistic genres and media that include oil painting and printmaking; questions of style (realism, classicism) and social context (courts, cities, and countryside); the location and circulation of art (markets, sacred spaces, regionalism and internationalism, exchange with Italy); uses and conflicts over religious imagery; and the impact of the Protestant Reformation.
