ARH 350 - BAROQUE ITALY FRANCE SPAIN

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Art History

Description:

This course will take a critical look and the dynamic and dramatic interplay between social, political, as well as economic institutions that contributed to the innovations in the painting, sculpture and architecture of Italy, France and Spain between 1590 and 1700. In addition to discussing the influence exerted on the period's artistic production by the sixteenth century Counter Reformation, the course will consider the various types of patronage (royal, ecclesiastic, civil) that existed during the period, as well as the role of art theory and collecting. Lectures, implemented through slide lectures, classroom discussion, and readings, will introduce references to allegorical language used by artists of the period, both within the workshop model of artistic production and overarching themes that link their works to larger cultural movements.
