ARTH-257 Spanish and European Art History (3)

This course examines European art, from the classical period of Greek art until the first half of the nineteenth century. The extensive chronology is divided into several artistic periods: Antiquity (Greek and Roman art); Medieval period (Romanesque and Gothic); Renaissance, Baroque, and the beginnings of Modern era (eighteenth and nineteenth centuries). All these artistic expressions, together with the aesthetical ideas that ignited them, are analyzed within their proper sociological, political, and religious context.
