Learning outcomes
|
The course presents the fundamental changes that the research of Renaissance art has undergone in recent decades, both within the European context and beyond it. New approaches and perspectives (post-formalist, gender, global art history, etc.) are discussed, with various new topics (Renaissance art outside the canon, material culture, the role of religion and magic, social and gender roles, Renaissance art "on the periphery" and outside Europe, etc.). The aim is to expand the traditional and reductive picture of the Renaissance, still perceived mainly in the Enlightenment-modernist conception as an exclusively progressive and Eurocentric phenomenon.
Knowledge of new methodological concept of art history and its critical assessment.
