  • AL 34401: The British House, Town, and Country: Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Architecture in Context

    1.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course will introduce students to the architecture and social life of British eighteenth- and nineteenth-century 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 which 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 (1760-9) and Osterley Park (1761-80). In London itself, we will look at Sir John Soane's House and Museum of 1812-3. 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 centre of London.

  • AL 34404: Britain in Portrait

    1.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Britain has a rich and varied history of portraiture, stretching from medieval tombs and the images of kings and queens at Westminster Abbey to the exploration of film and multiple images as portraiture techniques in the twenty-first century. Many of these finest examples are to be found in London, notably at the National Portrait Gallery (close to the ND London Centre). This course will use these collections to study the development of portraiture in Britain from its earliest days to the present. Portraits will be considered in terms of the economic context in which they were painted, studio practice, artistic convention, and changing attitudes to women, children and less privileged social groups.

  • AL 34405: Art and Society in Victorian London

    1.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course will introduce students to the main themes of Victorian art. We will investigate the relations between art and society in nineteenth-century London, explore artistic neighborhoods and life-styles, and consider how artists approached subjects such as life and death, love and sexuality, work and leisure, urban living and city streets. After an initial briefing session at Suffolk Street, the classes will be given in major London museums so that students can learn about Victorian art and architecture by actually looking at it and walking round it. We will visit the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington, Tate Britain at Millbank, the Museum of London at the Barbican and/or Leighton House, the magnificent artist's residence built in a lavish style in west London. On each visit the course tutor will provide an introduction, give expert guidance on looking and interpreting, and lead the discussion and question time.
