The High Renaissance in Italy (Art History W4450)
Professor David Rosand
MW 2:40-3:55, 501 Schermerhorn Hall
Painting, sculpture, and architecture in Italy, ca. 1480 to 1527,
with focus on major urban centers (Florence, Rome, Venice) and courts
(Mantua, Ferrara). Particular attention will be given to the stylistic
and historiographic concept of "High Renaissance," to the artists
who shaped that culture (Leonardo da Vinci, Bramante, Michelangelo,
Raphael, Giorgione, Titian), and to its defining monuments (including
the new St. Peteršs, the tomb of Julius II, the Sistine Chapel ceiling,
the Vatican Stanze). Among the more general issues to be confronted
are: new notions of the artist and of artistic creation; shifting
patterns of art theory and the articulation of critical response,
the dynamics of patronage and the shaping of cultural vision.
