High Renaissance and Mannerism. Among the artists considered are Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Titian, and Raphael. Of special consideration is the nature of the Papacy, as a patron of art, and the city of Rome, as a context for artistic activity. The course will also consider the reasons for the dissolution of the classical tradition during this time by artists such as Pontormo, Parmigianino, and Giulio Romano.
