Note:
This course examines Renaissance art and architecture of the 15th and 16th centuries, focusing primarily on the Italian tradition and how interest in and assimilation of classical culture - including Greek and Roman antiquities, literature, and the development of Classical education - influenced its origins and evolution. Students will learn to recognize and understand important public and private works and monuments of the Renaissance and discuss them in terms of style, iconography, function and cultural context.

According to the subtitle, this course examines various aspects of the social, political, cultural, and aesthetic contexts of European art & visual culture. Issues of production and reception, style & function, artistic & viewer, and European interactions with non-European cultures will be considered. May be repeated under a different subtitle to a maximum of six credits. Prereq: A-H 101 or A-H 106 recommended.
