  • ARHI 34320: The Northern Renaissance

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the Netherlands and the German states experienced a flourishing of the visual arts equal in significance to contemporary developments in Italy. Mastery of the technique of oil painting allowed artists to achieve an unrivalled verisimilitude and exquisiteness of detail in their work. All of this was accomplished against a backdrop of extraordinary social, cultural and religious change, which left an indelible mark on the patronage, production and subject matter of art. This seminar will focus on major practitioners such as Van Eyck, Bosch, Bruegel, Dürer, and Holbein. It will also investigate such as the advent of printmaking, the impact of the Reformation, and the rise of landscape, portraiture and other secular genres.

  • ARHI 34328: Venetian Art

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Venice is set apart from Italy and from Europe not only by its watery setting, but also by its history, traditions, and sense of cultural identity. Unique for its birth from the sea, distinguished by its Byzantine past, splendid for its civic ritual, glorious for its colorful palaces and churches, "La Serenissima" produced a distinct type of Renaissance painting. From the middle of the 15thC to the late 16thC, Venetian painters created a "school" of art that became celebrated for color and brushwork, for attention to light and landscape, and for new poetic and sensual themes. The political, religious and social structure in which these painters worked was essentially conservative, and the state, confraternities, and religious orders demanded that artists heed time-honored traditions. Other factors - such as independent-minded patrician connoisseurs, the influence of humanist thought and literature, the atmosphere of religious tolerance, and contact with Northern Europe - fostered innovation. The tensions between tradition and innovation, Venice and the world, the state and the individual, provided Renaissance art in Venice an especially lively and sometimes conflicted environment. While we will concentrate on Venetian painting, reference will also be made to relevant works of sculpture and architecture. The course will be an investigation of major themes, issues, controversies and problems concerning the understanding of Venetian art by means of analysis of selected key works, rather than an inclusive chronological survey of the period. The highpoint of the class is a three-day trip to Venice.

  • ARHI 34340: Baroque Art

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course analyzes the masterpieces of Roman Baroque Art and architecture from the end of the 16th century to the beginning of the 18th century. In this period of time Rome is a leading center of the arts in Europe. While analyzing urbanism, architecture, sculpture and painting by some of the major artists of the period (Caravaggio, Bernini, Borromini, Cortona) we will consider the artistic trends that characterize the patterns of patronage in Counter-Reformation and Baroque Rome. Special attention will be given not only to the literary sources that shaped art theory, practice and criticism, but also to important issues such as propaganda, the viewer's emotional engagement and the artist's social status. The unity of the visual arts, rhetorical effects, artistic rivalry, scenic urbanism, the relation between art and poetry, the use of classical and "bizarre" vocabulary, the concept of pastoral, the representation of ecstasy, the idealization of death will be some of the themes explored in this course. Each art work, building or urban plan will be studied as a document to understand broader concepts related to politics, religion, music, science, theatre

  • ARHI 34401: Aspects of Sculpture: From Neo-Classicism to Post Modernism

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course addresses aspects of sculture - individuals, styles, theory, practice and training - from classical revival in the 18th century, when sculpture was a dominant art form, through a traditional and conservative period in the 19th century, to its re-emergence in Modernism and pre-eminence in the late 20th century. The public nature of sculpture will be explored, the inherent abstract qualities of sculpture will be identified and both the contract to and the interrelationship with painting will be examined. The essence of sculpture will be seen to develop in this period from what was a timeless expression and an enduring form to one of transience addressing the passage of time.
