Typology in Renaissance Art
ARHA 321 FA
This seminar will investigate the structuring of artistic content by means of types, such as the altarpiece, and within the types, subcategories, such as the saint's altarpiece or the narrative altarpiece. The concern
of the seminar will be not just to
isolate viable typologies from c.1300 to c.1600, but to see whether they determined style and to chart their changes over time.
