ARTH-UA 307 - The Age of Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

Painting in Florence and Rome from about 1470 to the mid-16th century. From a study of selected commissions by the Pollaiuolo brothers, Andrea del Verrochio, Leonardo, Perugino, Raphael, Domenico Ghirlandaio, and Michelangelo, we go on to investigate new pictorial modes emerging after 1510 in Andrea del Sarto, Pontormo, Rosso, Parmigianino, Giulio Romano, and other members of Raphael's school; we consider their younger contemporaries and successors, including Bronzino and Vasari. The course emphasizes the patronage, symbolic tasks, and functions of Renaissance painting and critically examines historical concepts such as high Renaissance, mannerism, and maniera.
