    University of Notre Dame

    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.

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course provides an overview of Dutch painting and architecture in the 17th century, an art style that has wide appeal among art historians and the public at large. This visually attractive and accessible art is shaped by the vigorous history of the Netherlands, a small but powerful and expanding country in the 17th century. The relationship between the history of the country, and its artistic achievement, will be considered in some depth, particularly in relation to traditional academic readings of the nature of Dutch art. While the course concentrates on Holland in the 17th century, its activities as a colonial power and its maritime achievement are assessed for their impact on the nature of Dutch art. The remarkable cities of the 17th century will be examined not only for their architectural achievement but also as models of successful urban constructs, both in the 1700s and today: both through painted images and through site visits. The course capitalizes on the remarkable collections of the National Gallery and other renowned London art galleries. Participants also travel to Holland for five days and four nights, to take advantage of the extensive collections of 17th century art in Amsterdam and in the galleries of other Dutch cities.
