ARHI 24311 - The Rise of the Artist in Renaissance Italy

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Art History

Description:

This module is designed to offer students an introduction to the art of the Italian Renaissance. It will profile the work of such significant figures as Giotto, Brunelleschi, Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Titian. In acknowledgement of the so-called 'long Renaissance ', this course strays into the early years of the 17th century in order to include the pivotal, and rebellious figure of Caravaggio. In this module, we will be concerned with approaching works of art within the context of issues of patronage, cultural change, and sociopolitical upheaval relevant to artistic developments in the main centers of production in Italy during the Renaissance.
