Art in Rome

Rome, often called “the Eternal City,” has been a center for artistic production, from Ancient Rome through the Baroque period. Walking the streets, you can pass by Roman ruins, admire the architectural wonders of the Renaissance, and marvel at Baroque sculpture. In this course, we take an art history tour of the city, viewing some of the highlights from those three major time periods—the Roman Empire, the Renaissance, and Baroque. Highlights include the frescoes by Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci in the Vatican City, Bernini's sculptures, Caravaggio's paintings, and the Pantheon. This course uses the Hybrid format which allows students to participate remotely and/or in the classroom. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.
