Learning objectives

The course provides the basic methodological tools for approaching European areas from the art historical point of view. Special attention will be paid to their main characteristics in terms of form and content, and their most relevant relationships with European and extra European areas. In order to achieve a more articulate comprehension, sources and methods drawn from other disciplines (for example, history, history of literature, history of philosophy) will be taken into account, in the light of an interdisciplinary perspective. The main course’s goals are: Aid students in interpreting the complexity and peculiarity of different formal languages; Analyse exchanges of artistic typologies and iconographies; Appreciate the originality and the relationships of these phenomena within their cultural contexts; Read the sources, when appropriate, in the original text (with translation). During the course, students will be invited to develop their judgement and express their opinions on the works of art (slides will be loaded on the e-learning site). Furthermore, students will be encouraged to verify the reliability of the theoretical statements they have learnt from the teacher by analysing the works of art by their own, in order to increase their skills.
