Overview
This unit focuses on European art of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Key historical and theoretical topics in the art of the period will be considered, such as: the emphasis in Italian and Spanish Baroque art on spectacle, excess and spirituality; the tradition and legacy of French classicism from Poussin to Ingres; Northern European genre and still-life painting; art as politics and social commentary in France, England and Spain; the emergence of landscape and the philosophy of the picturesque and the sublime; the eroticism and escapism of Rococo; and the phenomenon of Romanticism.
The unit will provide you with an understanding of the history and historiography of European art after the Renaissance and before Modernism. Recent research and current topics of debate will be emphasised in lectures, seminar discussions and readings.
