Course Description
This course examines the art and architecture of Venice from the fifth century until the seventeenth century. We consider the major "nuclei" of the city like Piazza San Marco and personalities that shaped the built and artistic environment -- Codussi, Sansovino, Palladio, & Titian for example. Our study explores the factors that contributed to Venetian art such as political and social context and contact with Byzantine, Islamic and northern Europe.
