Description:

Not offered in the period from 08F through 10S This course advances an interdisciplinary account of Florentine art, architecture, literature, politics, and social life during the crucial years in which the Medici family first came to power. Examining the period's rich historical and historiographical resources, we seek to understand the novel cultural character of Masaccio's paintings, Donatello's sculpture, Brunelleschi's architecture, Alberti's theoretical writings, and Burchiello's poetry, within a thematic structure that also addresses the development of linear perspective, of public political art, and of a new architectural language. Dist: ART; WCult: W. Rando
