SMOKE, MIRRORS & GESTURE: THE ART OF BAROQUE
This course will run in tandem with ARH-0266 (described above). The art of seventeenth-century Italy, France, Germany, Spain, and the Low Countries will be carefully examined, with particular emphasis on the changes in gestural painterly technique, subject matter, and theatrical and musical appeal of this period. Museum visits to Philadelphia and New York museums, rich in the art of this period, will be fundamental. ARH-0176 is preparatory but not required. Offered upon rotation with ARH-0265 and other courses in seventeenth-century art. 1 or 3 credits.
