IART116 — Arts of Renaissance & Baroque
Arts of Renaissance and Baroque is an introductory course that surveys the development of painting, sculpture, and architecture in Italy from the 14th to the mid-18th centuries, focusing on Rome but exploring also the artistic and cultural developments in Florence and Venice in the relevant period.

The course hones a method of description, critical analysis, and interpretation and enables students to learn about the main aspects of the Italian Renaissance and Baroque.
