Course Description:
In this course, we examine art and architecture in Rome from the end of the 16th century to the beginning of the 18th century, a dynamic period that shaped much of the fabric of the city as we know it today. While analyzing urbanism, structural design, sculpture, and painting by many of the well-known artists of the period (Caravaggio, Bernini, Borromini, Artemisia, Pietro da Cortona), we also discuss commemoration of the ritual and ceremonial life of the city as portrayed in engravings, drawings, printed books and the decorative arts. We round out our critical exploration of Baroque Rome by viewing documentary and feature films that engage with this fascinating period |
