ARH 344 - LA DOLCE VITA: ITA ART & CULT

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Art History

Description:

This course will investigate the paintings, sculpture, art objects, and architecture from antiquity to the present-day in the Italian peninsula. Expanding on Federico Fellini's assessment and critique of Italy as the 'sweet life' (la dolce vita), and combining that with the eighteenth-century notion of the Grand Tour, in which Europe's elite visited a range of sites across the Italian peninsula as a coming-of-age experience, this class will take a holistic look at the historical influences that have led to a wide range of artistic production.
