PARIS THROUGH THE AGES: FROM GOTHIC GRANDEUR TO MODERN ECHOES

Credit Hours: 3 · Undergraduate Lower-Level

Discover Paris through the eyes of the artists who shaped it! This immersive three-week HART summer course explores how medieval masterpieces—from the soaring cathedrals of Notre-Dame and Sainte-Chapelle to the jeweled pages of illuminated manuscripts—continue to spark modern imagination. We’ll move from Gothic vaults to the bold visions of the Musée d’Orsay, tracing how artists across centuries have reinvented the city’s visual language. With daily excursions, hands-on learning, and conversations that bridge past and present, you’ll see how Paris became (and remains) the beating heart of artistic innovation.
