Course objectives
The introduction to the baroque sculpture in Italy. The course will give a comprehensive overview of the most important masters of the 15th and 16th centuries and their works, addressing problems of iconography, style, sculptural technique as well as contemporary art theory, art patronage and aspects of the social history of the artist in the early modern period. Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to identify and discuss within their historical framework: major artists and important works of art; understand how the renaissance period in Italy influenced art in Europe; recognise the differing expressions of renaissance art and the role patrons played in the art and how they used it.
