Description:

09F: 2A This course explores the transformative period in European art and culture between 1700 and 1800, when the Rococo, seen as playful and decadent, gave way to the politically and morally charged art of Neoclassicism. We study painting, sculpture, and prints in France, England, and Italy in relation to academic art theory, the public sphere, the exhibition, the Grand Tour, colonialism, and the socio-political upheavals leading to the French Revolution. Artists include Hogarth, Boucher, Tiepolo, Kauffman, Reynolds, David. Dist: ART; WCult: W. Rosenthal.
