THE HISTORY OF ART: THE RENAISSANCE (ONLINE COURSE)
Jo Chapman Campbell
Starts: Thursday 24 September 10.00 am – 12.00pm, 5 weeks
Fees: £50/£40 Code: 10 105
This course focuses on the term ‘Renaissance’ and discusses the periods of medieval and Renaissance art we call Renaissance: the Northumbrian, the Carolingian, the Macedonian, the Ottonian and the Twelfth Century Renaissance, culminating in the final class, a discussion of the Italian Renaissance. These periods of art, literature and culture are a wonderfully illuminating glimpse into the medieval and Renaissance worlds, in the British Isles in the 8th century, the world of Charlemagne and his son, Louis the Pious, the court in Constantinople of the Macedonian Emperors, the literature and art of the Ottonian Emperors in Germany and the Romanesque era of the twelfth century and, finally, the world of humanism and the revival of Greek literature in Florence, Urbino, Perugia and Rome in the 15th century.
