HIST 96.31 The Crisis of he Late Middle Ages Reconsidered: Art, Artists, and Cultural Change

This seminar re-examines a famous period in European history through the lens of art.  The “Late Medieval Crisis” conjures up images of Europe marked by decadence and decline, to be rejected or rejuvenated in the Renaissance and Reformation.  Looking at cultural and intellectual changes expressed in the visual arts prompts a more nuanced approach, revealing the extraordinary fertility of thought and action in this time of transition.
