Course Name: ARTH 42091/62095 Art Experiences in Italy

Description: This course is an introduction to the major artworks and monuments in the city of Florence, with the goal of giving the student a sense of the progression of styles from the Middle ages through the Renaissance to the Baroque. Class participants will learn to understand some of the social, political and historical contexts that led to the formation of these styles. We will analyze and discuss the great works and monuments of the Florentine Renaissance directly on the spot in front of the actual works of art, and students will also be exposed to the diverse regional productions of the great cities of Rome and Venice and the Tuscan hill towns through museum visits and a field trip to Siena.
