A Restless Vision: Baroque Art in the 17th Century
Week 1 | M, Tu, W, Th, F | Hultquist 101 | Ages 14 and up
Accessible and provocative, the dynamic art of Caravaggio, Bernini, Rubens and Gentileschi defines the exuberant spirit of the Counter-Reformation. In the Protestant north the contemplative spirituality and realism of Rembrandt represents an equally powerful but different world view. In this class we will discover how these artists blended the sacred and the secular to create the profoundly moving art of the 17th century.
