FEBRUARY, MAY, OCTOBER 2018
This course explores the principal developments and innovations of
Italian art that occurred in the fifteenth century. A constellation of
artists and architects, including Brunelleschi, Ghiberti, Donatello,
Masaccio, Leon Battista Alberti, Fra Filippo Lippi and Sandro
Botticelli all created ground-breaking works for Florentine
institutions and families that are still considered milestones in the
history of Western art today. This course considers the lives, works
and patrons of these figures as well as the political, social and
religious context of life in fifteenth-century Italy. This course
includes on-site visits to the Brancacci chapel in the church of the
Carmine, the Museo Nazionale del Bargello, the church of San
Lorenzo, the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi, the convent of San Marco, the
church of Orsanmichele and the church of Santa Maria Novella.
“I enjoyed the course sessions and appreciated
the informed, engaging lectures and the helpful
handouts. It was a joy to attend the sessions!”
