IN PERSON: The lands we now call Italy were deeply influenced by Middle Eastern cultures. In this course, we will survey Italian art from the 4th to the 16th century through works in major European and American museums, especially works in the North Carolina Museum of Art. Through lectures and gallery visits, we will observe the significant trends in Italian art and how Eastern influences merged with Western styles. We will conclude with a view of works in the fall 2024 NCMA exhibition, "Venice and the Ottoman Empire." Students may register for four lectures or four lectures plus three gallery tours. A website and syllabus and further information will be made available to registered students. | Lecture + Q&A, Facilitated discussion.
