Description:

This course will focus upon Italian artists working in Rome from circa 1590 to circa 1660. Although we will explore painting, sculpture and architecture in this particular sequence and more or less chronologically, we will often have the chance to consider how these media coalesce to create an overwhelming visual experience. We will pay particular attention to major commissions given to Annibale Carracci, Michelangelo da Caravaggio, Gianlorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini as we seek to define the nature and meaning of the Roman Baroque. Part of the art history concentration and minor and may also be taken as an elective. Cross-listed with CIAS. Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)
