Course/Module description:
Vasari’s contemporary said: "either the spirit of Donato works in Buonarotto, or that of Buonarotto began by working in Donato." This is the leitmotif of the course. We shall discuss those works by Donatello (ca. 1386-1466) which had a great impact on the works of Michelangelo (1475-1564).
Course/Module aims:
to grant knowledge about the Florentine visual culture with emphasis on sculpture; to see works of Michelangelo in the light of works of Donatello as his major predecessor; to get acquainted with sculptor's various techniques with regard to subjects and forms of discussed works; to write a research paper with distinction between facts and hypotheses and between ideas of critics and those of scholars.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
to learn in depth masterpieces of leading sculptors and understand relationship between the subject and form of their works; to distinguish between categories of works; to raise questions about works by way of combining observation and knowledge; to write a research paper and present ideas in lecture form on the level of conference presentations.
