Università Roma Tre

Painting and sculpture in Italy (1400-1700) (12 CFU)

The knowledge of art and artistic movements in Italy from early Renaissance to Neoclassicism is the aim of the course. This goal can be achieved analyzing the style of the works of art and their history, patronage, meaning in the society in which they were born. Therefore a visive knowledge of paintings and sculptures is strictly requested.
The course will begin with some general lectures about artistic movements and different approaches to history of art. Students are kindly requested to have taken History of Medieval Art exam before attending the course.
Studying the manual is just the first step of preparing for the exam. The knowledge of the complete work of the most important artists is also requested and therefore students can be helped to get in touch with the whole ouvre of artists by the website (I suggest www.wga.hu). Maestri del Colore or Classici dell’arte Rizzoli can be useful as well. During the course some subjects will be developed and it’s very important to learn them through the slides which can be found on Microsoft Teams, Team Storia dell’Arte Moderna 2020-2021.
In any case the most important way of learning visual art is getting in real touch with works of art by visiting them. Therefore there’s a list of monuments in Rome to be visited before the exam, which could be found in the slides. If the pandemic situation doesn’t allow to visit monuments, more information will be provided during the course.
Students attending the course can take a written exam at mid term and at the end of the term. These two written exams will be part of the final one.
Bibliography for attending and non attending students is the same. The least absolutely need to get the course’s slides which can be found here www.bit.ly/dsu-terzaghi at the end of the course.
