ARTH 349 16th-18th Century European Art & Architecture
This course traces the significant developments in European art and architecture from 1520 to c. 1785, or from the end of the Renaissance period to just prior to the outbreak of the French Revolution. The movements discussed include Mannerism, Baroque, Rococo, and Early Neo-Classicism. Developments in the visual arts in relationship to their political, cultural, and social context are explored. The impact of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, individual monarchs, and increased contact with the non-western world on European art in general and individual artists in particular is addressed. The rise of academies, hierarchies of subject matter, Salons, the formation of an art public and art critics, and how these changes in art making and patronage affected women artists are also explored.
