Full Description

This course examines five principal texts of Italian Renaissance art theory that deal with the art of painting in relation to contemporary artistic practice. The aim of this course is two-fold. The first is to gain insight into the purpose of Renaissance art theory, its key subjects, and its development in Italy between 1436 (the date of the first treatise) and 1587 (the date of the last for this course).

The second aim is to assess the nature of the relationship between the theoretical views on painting codified in these texts and the practice of a number of the most prominent Italian painters, such as Fra Angelico, Fra Filippo Lippi, Piero della Francesca, Sandro Botticelli, Pietro Perugino, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Andrea del Sarto, Jacopo Pontormo, Andrea Mantegna, Giovanni Bellini, Titian, Lorenzo Lotto, Parmigianino, Correggio, Giorgio Vasari, Federico Barocci and Federico Zuccaro.
