ARTH 26.05 FSP: Early Modern Art in Rome

This course examines the visual arts of Rome in the Early Modern period, a period marked by a revived interest in naturalism. This revival was inspired by Classical Antiquity and had wide-ranging implications. We shall address the social and historical context of artworks in an exciting time that also saw the invention of printing, a change in the status of the artist, and a shift in perception on the part of the beholder. Among the related themes to be studied are materials and techniques; style and influence; religious and mythological iconography; and patronage and collecting.
