MCAS SA AA 352 - Baroque & Later Art&Architecture Sicily

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

This course will start by looking at the Renaissance and Mannerism styles as they developed in Sicily, then it will consider the various forms of Baroque art and architecture produced in the main centres of production such as Rome and Naples, and see how the Baroque style flourished on the island long after it had faded elsewhere. We will look at the new theories about town-planning which develop after the disastrous earthquake of 1693, and the influence of the Church and the religious orders on the re-building. The relationship between the arts will also be studied. The monuments and museums in and around Syracuse will help to illustrate the developments of art and architecture in Sicily from the 17th to the 20th century. AUC Designation: Cl
