The lectures introduce students to the transformations of Italian painting in its main centres from the mid-16th to the mid-18th century, especially in Rome, Bologna, Florence, Venice, Naples, Milan, Genoa and Turin. The distinctiveness of the local schools, the importance of the urban centres of painting and their relationships are traced in the exchange of impulses, in the influence of leading artistic figures, in the context of contemporary cultural developments and in the structure of domestic patronage, collecting and commissions, together with traces of the activities of foreign artists in Bohemia and Moravia. The individual cycles can be specifically focused by means of case studies according to current trends and the latest findings.
Acquisition of a deeper knowledge of Baroque painting in Italy in its main artistic centres from the mid-16th century to the mid-18th century.
