ARTH 294 - The Arts of Conquest and Resistance in 17th century Europe and Latin America

FC ARHU CD WINT
4 credits
Much art and architecture produced in Europe and Latin America was closely intertwined in the 17th century, from Mexico City to Naples, Cuzco to Antwerp, and Quito to Madrid. We will investigate how European powers used visual strategies to exercise political domination across the world, and how locals resisted these efforts by refashioning art and architecture designed to control them. This course examines a wide range of artistic production, from images made of shimmering feathers to processional sculptures to urban design to ephemeral art for civic performances. Field trip(s) required. Recommended Preparation: one 100-level course in art history.

This course is cross-listed with HISP-294
