This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
This study group examines the history of art in three of the most important art-producing centers of the seventeenth century. It follows the first two units of a course available at The Saylor Foundation. By the time we finish this course, we will be familiar with the most important art and artists of Western Baroque art. Familiarity with art history is helpful, but not requried.
The course lasts for four weeks, each week being completed at your own pace. We will respond to the material covered on the course "Activity Wall" and will schedule a weekly chat for more structured discussion time.
Visit the first ten links listed under "External Links" and read all materials and watch/listen to all audio-visual material. For the relevant reading material on Social History of Art, find the two essays on Caravaggio under the section “Italian and French 17th-Century Art.”
