ARTH-A 231: THE AGE OF GIANTS: ART IN THE TIME OF LEONARDO AND MICHELANGELO (3 credits)

About

Italian painting and sculpture in the time of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) and Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564), whose accomplishments represent what S.J. Freedberg has called the "most extraordinary intersection of genius art history has known". Besides an overview of Italian High Renaissance art, major topics to be addressed include the rivalry between Leonardo and Michelangelo, Leonardo's notebooks, and the reception of both artists' works in later centuries.
