ARTS 463 - Love, Lust, and Desire in Renaissance and Baroque Art


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits

During the Renaissance new technologies and scientific advances brought about new understandings of desire and sexuality, which had results in the representational arts. At the same time, many values associated with love and sexuality marked a continuum with the preceding period, including ideas about marriage. We will examine Renaissance art through the lens of social values and rituals associated with love, lust and desire. Artists to consider include: Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Titian.
