This module will focus on an aspect of European art from the period 1450-1700. Irrespective of the focus chosen (examples might be 'Italian art 1450-1550', 'Italy and Northern Europe in the Sixteenth Century' or 'Netherlandish art of the Seventeenth Century') students will gain an understanding of all or most of the following themes: the types of patronage prevalent in the period; the relationship between artists, patrons and centres; the range of subject-matter represented and the ways in which subjects were approached/developed; the organisation of workshop practice; prints and their role in disseminating artistic ideas; and the relationship between art and religion. NB. Students will not be eligible for resits on this module unless they have attempted every assessment point in the module. The only exceptions (MCs etc) will be at the discretion of the module leader.
