ARTH 20.02 Lifelikeness, and Artifice, the High Renaissance and Mannerism
A study of the major monuments of painting and sculpture in Italy during the sixteenth century. The course surveys the idealism of the High Renaissance (beginning with Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Giorgione) and then traces the development of Mannerism and Maniera in the work of such artists as Pontormo, Bronzino, and Tintoretto. The art of the reformers at the end of the century is also considered, especially as it looks forward to the Baroque.
