4 hours Topic: Italian Renaissance Sculpture. The topic of this course is the history of sculpture in the period between ca. 1250 and 1580. Arguably the pre-eminent medium in Renaissance Italy, sculpture was linked to ancient traditions and to the Christian religious object, and thereby reveals the dual demands made on art in this period. Renaissance sculpture--whether private or public, secular or religious--represents the collaboration between individual artists and the traditions and expectations of the patron and/or project. The approach to the art examined in this course thus emphasizes the intensive analysis of particular works and the cultural context in which they were created.
