Course
Transforming light: from drama and devotion in the 17th-century Italian Baroque to large-scale mythological compositions and 18th-century vedutismo
10 July (online modality) / 12 July (in-person modality)
Italian painting of the 17th and 18th centuries is characterised by the contrast between two fundamental currents within the Baroque: the naturalism and the classicism. This session explores the influence of both languages on painters working at this period and how their legacy was expressed in the work of 18th-century artists.
