Course Description

Through the lens of some of Rome’s best-known monuments, this course will explore the Eternal City’s art, architecture, and urbanism from the early fourteenth through the late sixteenth centuries. Monuments studied include Old St. Peter’s; The Sistine Chapel; the Vatican Stanze; New St. Peter’s; Renaissance tombs, fountains, altarpieces, churches, palaces, villas, gardens; and urban interventions will be presented within the context of Rome’s incomparably rich history. Rome’s multi-layered nature, in which tangible remains of successive eras shaped and informed visual experience, will be emphasized. Lectures will underscore the city’s mythic character and will explore the interdependence of religion, political power, and art in Renaissance Rome.
