ARHI 24312 - European Art I: Giotto to Michelangelo

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Art History

Description:

AH 10050 European Art I: Giotto to Michelangelo at UCD; In the first part of this survey, we will analyse the art of the European Renaissance of the 14th to 16th centuries. This was an immensely fertile period which witnessed the emergence of the first great personalities in the history of art, including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Hieronymous Bosch and Pieter Breughel. As well as profiling the careers of these and many other famous artists, this module will also seek to place individual works of art in their wider historical and cultural context. As we explore changing patterns of production, techniques and patronage, a dramatic story begins to emerge: the artist's struggle to win social, professional and intellectual acceptance. This lecture will be supplemented by weekly tutorials, which students will sign up for during the first week of class.This module, and its companion, AH10060 European Art 2 - Caravaggio to Turner, offers students a valuable introduction to Western Art from 1300-1850; from the Renaissance to the Romanticism. In establishing continuity of learning across the semesters, students considering studying art history to degree level are encouraged to take these modules in combination as a foundation for their studies. Equally, each module has its own integrity as a learning experience, and students are free to select only one should they wish. We intend to cater for students who have little or no experience of art history as well as those who have a more general grounding in the subject.
