ARTH 4220 - Italian Renaissance Art: Sixteenth Century

Florence, Rome, and Venice were the centers for High Renaissance art in the early16th-century, and by the 1540s many artists experimented with an idealism in art that was directly derived from the works of the High Renaissance masters Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Titian. The course examines the achievements of the High Renaissance masters in their context and considers how their art prepared the way for the later diversity of developments.
