Leonardo da Vinci 052 480

 

VIU is glad to integrate its art program with the Supplementary Art Course on Introduction to Italian Renaissance Painting.  

 

Course Aim: 

The main aim of this short course is to provide an introduction to one of the most fascinating period of the Italian Art.

Through the discussion of several paintings presented in class, the participants will build an understanding of the main characteristics of the Renaissance style and of the conditions that led to it. Another point of interest will be to follow the evolution of Renaissance from its beginning in Florence to its spreading through other Italian cities until its maturity during the "great Cinquecento". The art works will be analyzed against the background of religious, social and political conditions in Renaissance Italy.

The course will involve a final site visit to Florence.

 

Participation to the Course:

Modesti will also recognize a bonus towards the final evaluation of her course.
