Course/Module description:
The word Renaissance means “revival of classical art and culture” in Europe in the 14th-16th centuries. However, in fact, the Renaissance hasn’t brought European culture back to the classical past, rather, it was a complex way of its modernization. How were the new interests and new attitudes reflected in the visual arts? What new artistic means did appear to fit the new outlook? Why the rediscovery of classical art and culture assisted this process and what did the Renaissance artists and patrons think about the classical paganism? I will answer these and advance other, more complex and challenging questions, while following the development of Renaissance art in Italy and in other countries of Europe, century after century.
And what is Baroque art? It is the further development of the principles of the Renaissance in the period preceding the modern era.

Course/Module aims:
The objective of the course is to introduce students to the main themes in early modern European art.
