In-depth knowledge of the art of the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th centuries is required; students must thoroughly study the relevant facts, dates, artists (all of them), their expressive languages (being able to describe them), their historical context, and the ideas behind the works.
The study will be based on a secondary school Art History textbook, which you already possess, by any author and publisher. I recommend:
– Salvatore Settis – Tomaso Montanari, “Arte. Una storia naturale e civile’, Vol. 3 + Vol. 4, Einaudi.
