F1526 Great Works of Art Re-visited

Mazur Natalia, Doronchenkov Ilya

The course’s goal is to foster students’ skills in seeing and understanding masterpieces of European art from the 15th to the early 20th century and in doing so to discuss central issues of the evolution of art in Early Modern and Modern Europe. The course is focused on comparing different approaches to the interpretation of a specific work of art based on mainstream and revisionist methodologies of art history and visual studies. It’s structured as a range of case-studies and requires reading of scholarly literature and deep involvement in class discussion.

 

No previous art historical background is needed.
