This course examines the art of 16th-century Italy, focusing on how innovative artists created paintings and sculptures that helped create identities for themselves and those who ordered the works. Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Sofonisba Anguissola, and others produced renowned works now considered masterpieces and often recognized as such in their day. We also consider fundamental changes in Renaissance visual culture, with special attention to representations of Black people and of women. The course includes numerous in-class site visits in Florence.
