This course and study tour offer an introduction to the art, architecture, philosophy, and politics of ancient Rome and the time of the classical rebirth known as the Italian Renaissance. Special attention will be paid to the visible remains of ancient Rome as a framework for understanding the Renaissance.
The course will set the stage for the tour, which introduces you to all this: The Forum Romanum, the Colosseum, the Pantheon and other monuments of Rome’s classical past; the Vatican with Saint Peter’s Cathedral and the Vatican art collections, including Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel; Raphael, Titian and Bramante; Renaissance palaces and churches (and those of the Baroque for comparison); plus all the charms of modern Rome.
Due to the inclusion of a study tour, there is an extra fee of $995 for this course.
