242. Patronage and the Artist in Early-Modern Italy
This course will explore the relationship between various patrons and artists in Italy from circa 1400 until circa 1650. The class examines the influence held by patrons such as churches, monasteries, and court rulers on art production and, in turn, how artists affected patrons' taste. In addition, the course addresses issues of gender and politics to understand the process of art production and art reception in early-modern Italy.
