Academic Course
Prerequisite: Must be accepted into the Florence Off-campus Studies Program and have completed 1.0 Liberal Studies credit at the 200 level, including 0.5 VISC credit.
Taught in Florence and Rome, this course focuses on the development of the High Renaissance from the late quattrocento in Florence to its peak in 16th-century Rome. The subjective and anti-Classical style of early-Mannerist artists is studied, as well as selected monuments that illustrate the continuation of Renaissance tendencies and concepts into the Baroque era. Artworks and monuments are studied in their original settings and a three-day field trip to Rome is dedicated to viewing the most important monuments in the Vatican collections and in the city.
Notes: Only available to students enrolled in the Florence program. Students who have previously taken FLOR 3B02 may not take this course for further credit.
