FC ARHU

4 credits
As a new dynasty, the Valois turned to art and architecture to legitimate their rule, and their patronage drove artistic production in late medieval France. This class will study such important patrons as King Charles V and his brothers the Dukes of Berry, Burgundy and Anjou, together with the famous artists they employed, including the Limbourg Brothers, Jean Bondol, and Claus Sluter. Monuments in Paris, Dijon, Bourges and Angers will be studied.
