Themes in Northern Painting
This lecture-only course will familiarise students
with artistic achievements in northern Europe
from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century,
from the perspective of a series of identified
themes, explored in the social, economic,
political and cultural context of the age. It will
examine the importance of the painted and the
print image by artists like Jan van Eyck, Pieter
Brughel, Albrecht Dürer, Jan Vermeer,
Rembrandt van Rijn and others. Their work on a
range of themes will be explored in the creation
of personal, civic, national and religious identity,
during a dynamic period of dynastic alliances
and religious conflict, of geographic discovery
and scientific exploration. It will explore the
complex reasons behind the specialisation of
artists in the thematic areas of landscape,
religion, portraiture, genre, and still life, as well
as the important contextual changes in
patronage and the market which in turn affected
the nature of art production. These factors will
be examined in order to gain insight into the
ways in which art mirrored the society in which it
was created.
