ARTH-UA 315 - Art in Spain from El Greco to Goya

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

The first third of this course focuses on the major figures in the development of early modern Spanish art: El Greco in Italy and Toledo, Velázquez, Zurbarán, Murillo, Ribera, Valdés Leal, and others. Lectures on still life painting and polychrome wood sculpture are also included. The 18th century (the Tiepolo family, Meléndez) is then discussed. The focus then shifts to the art of Francisco de Goya and the projection of Spanish art into the modern era. This course also seeks to define Spain in the 16th and 17th century as a global power and thus emphasis is also placed on art in such New World centers as Mexico City and Lima in the colonial era.
