When we think of the Renaissance, we commonly think of Italy, especially Florence, but there were many other centers of artistic flowering all over Europe. This class will focus on the courtly arts of Europe, territories governed by princes or dukes, such as the papal court in Avignon; Prague and the art of Bohemia; Tudor England; and Ferrara, Mantua, Milan, and Urbino in Italy. Topics we will address include: the art of intrigue; courtly love; visual puns; the garden of love; and the artist as courtier.
