ARTH-A 231 THE AGE OF GIANTS: ART IN THE TIME OF LEONARDO AND MICHELANGELO (3 CR.)
Italian painting and sculpture in the time of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) and Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564), whose accomplishments represent what S.J. Freedberg has called the "most extraordinary intersection of genius art history has known". Besides an overview of Italian High Renaissance art, major topics to be addressed include the rivalry between Leonardo and Michelangelo, Leonardo's notebooks, and the reception of both artists' works in later centuries.

This course will investigate the art of Italy during the Renaissance. We will focus much of our time on the artists of central Italy, including such luminaries as Masaccio, Donatello, Botticelli, Leonardo de Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo. In addition, we will examine the puzzling phenomenon of Mannerism (Pontormo, Bronzino, Parmigianino) and the warm, painterly naturalism of Venetian art (Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione, and Titian).
