Description
[Renaissance/Baroque] This course will examine late Italian Renaissance art framed by the rivalry between Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian. Through both primary sources and recent secondary scholarship, we will study how their competitive natures and egos led them to be the most successful artists of their time. We will explore a variety of issues including technique, stylistic change and patronage, as we learn about these artists and this intense period of artistic change in Italy.
