ARTH 24110 /34110 - Venetian Painting from Bellini to Tintoretto

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

PQ: Any 10000-level course in art history or visual arts. The works of Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, and other major figures are studied in the context of the distinctive Venetian version of the Renaissance. We explore the patterns of patronage, iconography, and practice as they are impacted by the Venetian cult of the state, the role of the great charitable institutions in Venetian society, the conservative Venetian guild, and workshop organization. Some of the major art-historical themes include the understanding of Giorgione and Giorgionism as a decisive turn towards modernity in European art; the complex place of the long-lived Titian throughout the entire period; the role of drawing in an art most noted for its light, color, and touch; and the complex interaction of Venetian and Tusco-Roman visual cultures throughout the Renaissance. C. Cohen. Winter.
