Painting and Sculpture in
Seventeenth-Century Europe
This lecture-only course examines painting and
sculpture at European courts in the seventeenth
century, paying particular attention to works
produced in papal Rome and the courts of
Brussels, London, Madrid and Paris. The
relationship of artists and their patrons is
examined. The development and function of
religious art in a counter-reformation context is
studied in depth in the work of such artists as
Caravaggio, Bernini and Rubens. Also included
is a detailed account of evolving stylistic debates
around the values of classicism during the
period. The use of portraiture and mythology in
the projection of courtly and royal ideals will be
analysed through the works of Velasquez,
among others. Close attention will be paid to the
rise of secular art in the seventeenth century in
the form of genre, still life, and landscape
painting.
