“A Narrative Art History of the Renaissance" tells the story of European Renaissance art from about 1250 to 1610 in a continuous chronological narrative. Season 1 will focus on the 16th century, covering the period 1469 to 1610 in seven chapters with an introduction.
This lecture series aims to present Renaissance art in coherent context rather than as a disconnected collection of facts and artworks to be memorized. The focus here is not on individual artworks - although in-depth analyses of specific works are featured, too - but on the bigger picture of the Renaissance, including cross-cultural influences and artistic dialogues. It assumes little to no background in art history.
In this season:
Chapter 0 - Season 1 Introduction: Renaissance Florence, ca. 1460
Chapter 1 - The Dawn of the High Renaissance, 1469-1520
Chapter 2 - Stylistic Synthesis in the High Renaissance, 1500-1527
Chapter 3 - The Reformation, 1500-1550
Chapter 4 - New Landscapes, New Genres, 1500-1569
Chapter 5 - Mannerism: the Art of Artifice, 1520-1569
Chapter 6 - The Evolving European Taste: Image and Patronage, 1527-1600
Chapter 7 - Dawn of the Baroque: Reverberations of Renaissance and Reformation, 1575-1610
