Learning outcomes
The course provides the fundamental tools for understanding the formal development and the most relevant themes that concern art history in the Veneto region, with special attention to Venice. During the course, proper visual comparisons and iconographic/iconological interpretations will be the main object of discussion, following an interdisciplinary approach with the support of various sources related to art history, history and literature. The main course's goals are: Provide students with the basic tools for being acquainted with the cultural structures of a period, a theme or a painter; Identify the prevailing iconographies and focus on the problems involved in their interpretation with a critical judgement; Understand and make use of the fundamental sources in a proper way. During the course, students will be invited to verify the reliability of the theoretical statements they have learnt from the teacher by analysing the works of art by their own (slides will be loaded on the learning site). Furthermore, students will be encouraged to develop their judgement and express their opinions on the works of art, in order to increase their skills.
Program
The course aims at providing the fundamental tools for understanding the formal development and the most relevant themes that can be found in the oeuvre of the painter Giovanni Bellini (1430-1516); in particular, the works of art will be analysed with the help of a wide series of sources (drawn from literature, documents, etc.).
This course will underline the role played by Bellini in the Italian context and his response to the cultural values of his time. In this light, a special focus will be set on the iconography and iconology of his paintings, stressing the artist’s connections, not only in the visual field.
The course's goal is to provide students with basic tools for recognising the main cultural structures in Bellini’s oeuvre; recognising the prevailing iconographies; dealing with problems in interpreting Bellini’s paintings with a critical judgement; recognising the main sources.
Students are frequently encouraged to verify the liabilty of the theoretical statements they have learnt from the teacher by analysing the works of art by their own (the works of art will be discussed during the lessons and their images will be loaded on the e-learning website); furthermore, students are encouraged to express their opinions on specific problems concerning particular works of art, so that they can develop their skills in analysing and giving their personal judgement.
