Course Description:
From water to mirrors to Murano glass; from the micro-architecture of liturgical objects and Byzantine spoglia to the paintings of Bellini and Titian, the phenomena of color and light in the material culture of medieval and Renaissance Venice will be examined in this seminar. We will focus on artistic practice and technique from the unique standpoint of a mercantile society situated in a lagoon – a society that looked to the East for many of its cultural and material values. |
