ARH 343 - EARLY MOD ITA: PAINT SCULP ARC

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Art History

Description:

Early Modern Italians were surrounded by images, some brightly painted in oil or tempera, others carved into marble or wood. They walked through noisy and dirty streets that were lined with palaces, civic halls, and churches reflecting the latest architectural trends. But what of the materials and imagery that they encountered beyond the strict categories of painting, sculpture, and architecture? This course will flesh out the image of Renaissance and Baroque life on the peninsula by looking at the devotional, domestic, and ritual objects that filled villas, houses, bookcases, studies, and more. From the burgeoning majolica production in the peninsula, to the tapestry collections of cardinals and popes, this class will look at a wide array of meaningful objects that accompanied the paintings and sculpture for which this era is famous.
