ART 313L - The Art of Early Modern Venice: Myths and Realities of a Floating City

3 Credit(s) | Lecture | Graded (includes P/F option)
Not repeatable for credit

Description:
This course examines the history of Venice and its art within a broad Mediterranean and European context. It demonstrates the artificiality of the geographic boundaries still often placed upon the study of culture and identity formation. Venice, with its long history of multicultural interaction and exchange, as well as its penchant for self-celebratory mythmaking, is an ideal forum in which to challenge preconceived notions of nationhood, ethnic identity, and cultural unity.

Course Note
ART 313L and ITAL 313L are the same course.

This course is cross-listed as ITAL 313L
