Fundamentals of Art Hist III

(1.5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

The Fundamentals of Art History III course aims to study Italian artistic production between the 15th and 16th centuries, based on plural thematic and methodological approaches that aim to observe the appearance of new intellectual discourses and interactions between major Italian centers (Florence, Rome, Venice). The questions of imitation of nature, reception of Antiquity, techniques, relationship with sponsors, will be explored through different artistic mediums (architecture, painting, sculpture, engraving) with particular attention to the context of creation of origin, both artistic and socio-political at a time when the history of art is essentially thought of in terms of exchanges.
