  • ARHI 34418: British House, Town and Country

    1.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course will introduce students to the architecture and social life of British 18th-and 19th-century domestic houses, great and small. We will examine the social and historical role of the house as a container of collections of art, and look at their interior, as well as exterior decoration. Reference will be made to those houses that may be visited by students, such as Sir John Vanbrugh's Blenheim Palace of 1705, and, near London, Lord Burlington's Chiswick House of 1727, or Robert Adam's Syon House (1760-69) and Osterley Park (1761-80). In London itself, we will look at Sir John Soane's House and Museum of 1812-13. The course will be taught in a series of slide lectures, followed up by study visits to at least two houses, for example, one by Adam in the environs of London, and one by Soane in the center of London.

  • ARHI 34419: The English Garden and Landscape, 1600-1850

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Open to students in any major and meeting once-weekly in a double-session class to enable visits to many of London's significant gardens, this course explores English attitudes towards and interactions with plants between the seventeenth and nineteenth-centuries through a discussion of developments in garden design, painting, literature and the sciences. We will consider the important ideological role played by concepts of landscape in the development of political institutions, international networks and social structures. The interdisciplinary nature of this course will be of interest for students pursuing a range of majors and minors including history, art history, gender studies and STV. During the first two weeks of class students will keep a descriptive journal recording various plants encountered in daily life around London, writing an account of observations as if were presenting them to a curious student back at Notre Dame. These remarks should consider aesthetic questions (e.g. How have the plants been arranged? Do you find them appealing to look at? Are they fragrant, tasty, etc.?) scientific or practical questions (e.g. Under what conditions have they been grown? Are you able to identify any of them? Do any exhibit different characteristics than the same species grown in a different location? ) and social or historical questions (e.g. Where, when and why do you think they were planted? Have they been well cared for? What uses do they serve?). We will visit several museums and historical gardens over the course of the semester. All students will select one artifact from our visits to analyze as primary evidence within a descriptive-historical paper, demonstrating your ability to establish appropriate historical context for this material, and to vividly and accurately describe the object for a reader who presumably has not seen it. A further research paper is also required.

    University of Notre Dame

    This course focuses on the themes of money and status in the art made in Britain in the 19th century.

We also consider the aims of the artists' clients, concentrating on the new industrialists and the values they sought in art and in collecting. In going to London museums for at least three sessions, we explore how social status and hierarchy is portrayed in Victorian paintings of men and women and in images of race and ethnicity. Emphasis is placed on looking and interpretation, on studying actual works of art and architecture. Artists will include leading figures such as D.G. Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones, and William Morris.
