Discovering the Man: The Renaissance in Siena and Florence

This course offers our students a journey through the rich pageant of Renaissance art and culture, giving them the critical tools with which to analyze, understand and appreciate more fully the works of art produced in central Italy from the mid-13th to the mid-15th centuries.

We will look closely at the way in which changing styles in art reflected contemporary history and cultural attitudes.

With an abundance of works from the period on our doorstep, we will of course include visits to museums, churches and other places of historical or artistic interest in and around Siena and Florence, giving our students every opportunity to place their studies from the classroom in context and to see works by the great masters in the original.
