Course Description

Carlos Eire has recently argued that the history of Europe from 1450 to 1650 can be written as a history of reformations. Might a similar claim be made about the visual arts? This course will examine critiques of religious images emerging from various reform movements and practices that responded to these: at one extreme, censorship and iconoclasm, at the other, creative approaches that resulted in new forms of art. The course will center on Italy, though students are welcome to work on related material in other places.
