Course Descriptions
ARHI 2225 - Issues in Non-Western Art (4 credits)
An introduction to the art history of India or Asia.
ARHI 2256 - Renaissance in Latin American Art (4 credits)
The advent of the High Renaissance in Europe coincided with the Spanish conquest of the Americas. Colonists brought European art objects to the New World, and in the 16th century, indigenous peoples of the Americas (once known as the Aztec and the Inka) used these works to inspire their own artistic Renaissance in Latin America. It was a mestizo, or mixed, Renaissance, marrying the great art forms of native America to the best of the European Renaissance. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Baroque and Neoclassical styles in painting and architecture were also adapted and reinterpreted by artists in Latin America. This course looks at the development of this distinct visual culture in Latin America from 1500-1800, with a focus on important urban centers, Mexico City, Puebla, Cuzco and Lima.
ARHI 2530 - 19th Century Art (4 credits)
A survey from c. 1790 through Impressionism with emphasis on the medium of painting and on artistic developments in France. Focuses on the changing role of the artist in society and on emerging art institutions of the modern state.
ARHI 3460 - Bernini (4 credits)
By his own estimation, but also in the opinion of many of his most culturally informed contemporaries, Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) was the greatest artist of the 17th century. He was also the last in a long line of dazzling creative geniuses who had made Italy the artistic and intellectual center of Europe for three centuries. This course focuses primarily on Bernini’s major achievements as sculptor and architect, but also considers his efforts in painting, stagecraft, and ceremonial decoration, all through the lens of his larger cultural context: Rome, artistic rivalry and a resurgent Catholic church.
ARHI 4600 - Senior Seminar (4 credits)
Readings and discussion in the methodology of art history, and directed research on a selected topic culminating in a paper and an oral report. Required for all art history majors.
MVST 5050* - The World of Late Antiquity: History, Art, and Culture (4 credits)
This course offers an introduction to the history, art and culture of the Late Antique world from the 3rd to the 6th century. We will explore the older narratives of decline in this period alongside powerful alternatives proposed by scholars more recently, drawing on both primary sources and monuments and critically examining the secondary literature that studies them.
*Graduate course open to advanced undergraduates.
