This course examines art made between ca. 1400-1600 that has traditionally been described as belonging to the “Northern Renaissance” (that is, art made in what is today the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany and Austria) and the Italian Renaissance (that is, art made on the Italian peninsula). While these two subjects are traditionally taught as separate historical and artistic phenomena, this course will consider possible alternatives to this model. By focusing on artists and art works that traveled in both directions across the Alps, students will have the chance to consider the implications of a more inclusive definition of the Renaissance.
