ARHI 34422 - The Pre-Raphaelite Movement

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Art History

Description:

This course focuses on the themes of money and status in the art made in Britain in the 19th century. We look at how artists funded their careers and diversified their output, and the ways they celebrated and displayed their celebrity lifestyle. We also consider the aims of the artists' clients, concentrating on the new industrialists and the values they sought in art and in collecting. In going to London museums for at least three sessions, we explore how social status and hierarchy is portrayed in Victorian paintings of men and women and in images of race and ethnicity. Emphasis is placed on looking and interpretation, on studying actual works of art and architecture. Artists will include leading figures such as D.G. Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones, and William Morris.
