Classical Greek and Roman culture have served as the foundation of European art and architecture from the Renaissance to the present. This course forms a study of main elements of the classical heritage and ways in which it has influenced European art, architecture, and culture ever since the Renaissance. The course makes widespread use of the classical and neo-classical collections of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, the National Gallery, the Thorvaldsen Museum, the National Museum of History, and of great examples of neo-classical architecture in Copenhagen.
