About This Course

In Italian Masterpieces, celebrated art historian Dr. Rocky Ruggiero explores the milestone works of sculpture, painting and architecture that defined the Italian Renaissance and revolutionized the history of art.

Details

Each 12-minute video lecture analyzes the style, technique and medium of the artwork, while also looking at the rich cast of personalities involved in their realization. From the creative genius of the artists and architects who made them, to the wealthy and influential patrons who commissioned them, all the way down the people who over the centuries have visited or admired them, these lectures will look at the art in its own historical context but will also explore how it is experienced in our own time.

Course Aims:

  • To develop the fundamental skills of art historical analysis that include formal analysis and iconographic interpretation
  • To thoroughly understand the importance of the Italian Renaissance
  • To bring a historical period to life through a “hands on” approach to the monuments and works produced during this specific period
  • To develop an ability to interact in a personal and intimate manner with works of art and their surroundings

    TERRIFIC!

    Rocky is a superb storyteller with deep and broad knowledge of Italian art, architecture and history. Art and history come alive in this lecture series. The presentation is very good and very enjoyable. I am encouraged to learn more and I hope more online videos will be added in the future.
