EUR 312 - From Classical to Classicism

From Classical to Classicism is a three-credit study abroad course. The course examines the connections among art, history, and religion over several centuries in Italy. The group of students and professors will examine how social, political, and economic power is reflected in the art and architecture of Italy, and how recurring themes change over the course of the millennia from Rome through the Sixteenth Century. Students will study painting, sculpture, and architecture from the Roman, Byzantine, and Renaissance eras and observe how these changing styles unlock the histories of Italy. In addition to studying art, history, and religion, students will experience modern Italian culture and learn how to travel in Europe.
