This group studies Baroque art history of Italy, Spain and the Netherlands.

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.

Liz Lebrun at Baroque Art of Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands

posted message: If you haven't yet, please read the essay Kevin was nice enough to share with the group. He makes some really excellent observations. I've added a comment and posed some questions, so take a look if you'd like to join the conversation. Since this is our last week please chime in and discuss anything relating to the material we've covered! I'd love to discuss in a live chat with you all. I'll be available at 6:00 (EST) tomorrow, August 5th. Please join me! I hope that some of the things you've learned about Baroque art are starting to come together more and more as you learn about what was going on in different places at different times. Note that there's another exciting museum visit to TWO museums in this final week! Enjoy!

Liz (and the rest of the class)

I started off strong, but my computer woes kept me off line for a couple of weeks. I did learn quite a bit about the counter-reformation and the other things covered in the first week. I feel bad that I didn't participate as fully as I would have liked to, but life is like that sometimes.

Thank you for your coordination and to the other members of the class.
