Course Description

This introductory art history course traces key developments and themes explored by prominent American and European from the mid-18th to the mid-19th century. Emphasis will be placed on how the arts of this time responded to their cultural and social contexts, and why artists found it important to expand beyond traditional artistic forms and subjects associated with the powerful Academies. Though illustrated lectures anchor the course, discussion will always be encouraged. 

Session One and Two: The Grand Manner and Neoclassical Painting and Sculpture
Session Three: Romanticism in France and Spain
Session Four: Romanticism in England, Germany and the United States

This course meets online over Zoom. Class recordings will be available.
