Splendor of the City

Instructor(s): Kristin Love Huffman

Residents of Venice, both individually and collectively, fashioned an image of the city as unprecedented and exceptional, accomplishing this in great part through art and architecture. Venice was indeed unique— a city built on water after all— and sponsors commissioned monuments as a way to promote the city as unparalleled in beauty, splendor, and glory. Students will use digital tools, such as Omeka/Neatline, to map artistic connections across the urban landscape of Venice and its territories during Renaissance. By considering a range of artistic patronage, a wide spectrum of art commissions, and a number of the most famous artists, this course will offer a broad picture of this thriving period of Venetian art and society.
