Cinquecento Florence
High Renaissance Art and Architecture (1500-1600)
No era of artistic achievement is as renowned as the so-called ‘High’ Renaissance of the 16th century, and no country holds a higher place in that period than Italy. The supreme works created by masters such as Michelangelo, Pontormo, Bronzino, Vasari and Giambologna established a canon of beauty and benchmark of ‘perfection’ that pervades Western culture to this day. This course explores the rise of this legendary style, the friendships and bitter rivalries that existed between these men, and their powerful patrons in Florence and throughout Europe.
