HARC 0249 - Art&Courtly Powr/Early Mod Eur
Art and Courtly Power in Early Modern Europe
From incest and assassinations to the noble pursuits of hunting and humanistic studies, the lives of sovereigns and their entourages at Renaissance and Baroque courts were varied and colorful. In this course we will explore the subjects and modes of art created for the enjoyment of secular princes and how they function as a tool of statecraft to consolidate their power. We will investigate urbanism and the styles and iconography of art and architecture at courts in Italy, Spain, France, Austria, and England. We will pay particular attention to the lives of courtiers, female artists, and other women. 3 hrs. lect/disc.

HARC 0328 - Global Influence/European Art
Early Modern Europe's Global Artistic Interactions
In this course we will examine Early Modern European art through a global perspective. We will investigate the artistic exchanges between Northern, Southern, and Eastern Europe as well as Europe's increasing interaction with the rest of the world during the Age of Exploration. By examining primary sources such as travel accounts, we will also explore the Europeans perception of the so-called Others, including Africans, Muslims, Indians, and Asians, was manifested in the visual arts. We will also examine the artistic repercussions between Europe and beyond as consequences of trade and missionary activities. (Not open to students who have taken HARC 1015) 3 hrs. lect/disc.

HARC 1015 - Early Modern European Art
“Beyond Europe” in Early Modern European Art*
An elephant from India for the pope, turbaned Muslim merchants in Venice, a samurai ambassador to European courts, and appalling cannibalism in the New World—the visual arts of Europe from the fifteenth to seventeenth century reflected Europeans’ increasing encroachment on, and interaction with, the world beyond. By considering works by artists such as Bellini, Dürer, Raphael, Bernini, and Rubens, we will examine how Europeans depicted peoples and animals from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas in the early modern period. We will also examine the artistic exchanges between Europe and beyond as consequences of trade and missionary activities.
