Course Content (Syllabus)
The course examines the art of Neoclassicism and Romanticism. More specifically, we analyze works of painting, sculpture, architecture and the applied arts of the period 1750-1850 that are part of the particular trends, and discuss their historical context. Special emphasis is put on the relation of artistic production to the ideology and the politics of the time, as well as to matters of class, gender, race and nation. Moreover, we explore the conditions under which men and women artists from Europe and the USA create and circulate their works: issues addressed include artists’ workshops, the role of the Academy, the stay in Rome, art exhibitions and the public of art, the clients and the market, the discourse on art.
