Art and Architecture of Renaissance and Baroque
People
Description
The course provides an overview of European, and in particular Italian, architecture from the first half of the fifteenth century to the eighteenth. In addition to exploring individual biographies (from Brunelleschi to Borromini) it will investigate the evolution of the different building types proposed with the rediscovery of Antiquity in the humanistic age. Particular stress will be laid on the relations between architecture and the visual arts, the change in the social and cultural role of the artist-architect, and relations with patrons.
