DescriptionPlease note that the ‘last booking’ date is only a guide. Courses may close earlier. In order to avoid disappointment, please be sure to enrol as soon as possible. Registrations may not be processed until the following day if received after 3pm. This course will investigate the gradual emergence of a recognisably ‘Renaissance’ style of Italian art over the period 1400-1430, considering a range of centres of artistic production but with particular emphasis on Florence. We will look at a series of major works of painting and sculpture, in order to track how a new and distinctive style of art came gradually into dominance through a complex jostling and mixing of styles (not least through the paradox of artists inventing their own versions of an ‘antique’ classicism). The course aims to provide participants with a detailed account of the contest of styles in early Quattrocento art (especially in Florence), to help them understand the process that by 1430 had led to the emergence of an increasingly dominant and distinctive mix of characteristics that we now term the ‘Renaissance’ style of Italian art.
