579: 16th- and 17th- Century Mannerist and Baroque Art
Thursday11:45 - 1:15
Starting September 27
In-Person
Mannerist and Baroque Art was a deliberate contradiction of rules, defying strictures of Renaissance perfectionism in natural appearance. We will explore this divergence featuring 16th- and 17th- century artists following Michelangelo. We will look at Mannerists Pontormo, Fiorentino, Parmigianino, Bronzino, and others. We will then feature Baroque artists Bernini, Carracci, Reni, Caravaggio, Velasquez, Rubens, and others who combined many things to revolt against Mannerist elitism.
