Renaissance Art In Florence

Florence University of the Arts

Description
This art history courses gives the student a unique and stimulating opportunity to study Renaissance art in Florence - the city of its birth. Equally divided between slide lectures and on-site teaching, the course will cover Renaissance painting, sculpture and architecture from about 1400 to 1500. Students will not only learn to identify the individual styles of artists such as Donatello, Masaccio, Fra Angelico, Botticelli, Verrocchio, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, but they will also be able to relate the artists to the social, political and cultural contexts of the time. Museum and other site visits include: the Uffizi Gallery, the Bargello Museum, the Accademia, the Churches of Santa Maria Novella and San Lorenzo. Museums visits form an integral part of this course.
