Fine Arts 2232 or 3293 Papal Rome:
Art and Culture in the Renaissance and Baroque Periods

(This course will be taught by Lawrence Jenkens, Ph.D., Academic Director) An exploration of the history of the heyday of Papal Rome (circa 1400-1650) through a careful examination of the city and its most significant cultural monuments. We will use the art and architecture of Rome to reconstruct the city's importance as a visual expression of the secular and spiritual authority of the papacy, its ties to the ancient world and the ramifications of the shifting balance of power in early Modern Europe. The majority of class meetings will be held in the magnificent palaces, churches and museums of Rome ; these on-site visits will be supplemented with classroom lectures and assigned reading.
