3 credits
Prerequisites: ARH 102, 125 or permission of instructor
A study of 18th century European art France, Britain, Italy, and Spain.  The course will study the varieties painting and sculpture that arose as the unifying culture of Christianity was supplanted by the fractious and specialized disciplines of science, philosophy, history, and literature.  These changes are reflected in an art that is at times logical, intuitive, polemical, impulsive, brilliant, or pedestrian.  The goal of the course is to provide students with an analytical framework that permits them to develop a more profound and independent understanding of the subject.
