Learning outcomes

The course will comprehensively convey the form of visual culture in the time horizon of 1400-1800, focusing on Europe and the Czech lands with overlaps to the non-European space, in an attempt to capture the basic contours of global artistic expressions of the pre-modern era. It will present art in a broad chronological and geographical framework on the basis of synthesis, but also with substantial analytical, comparative probes. It will introduce central canonical works of art and artistic innovations while presenting them in their respective historical and cultural context. Analytical mapping of specific topics (artistic genres and practices, iconographic themes, artistic patronage, etc.) will serve to complement the synthetic nature of the course. In a seminar format, students' competencies will be simultaneously tested both in a factual sense and with regard to the cultivation of visual memory and basic art-historical skills.
Orientation in the issues of visual culture in the period of 1400-1800 in Europe and the Czech lands in a broad chronological and geographical framework; knowledge of the main works of art, artists, trends and areas of development in historical and cultural context.
