Through the faces of patrons and artists, of individuals or groups, public or private, in painting and sculpture, we will explore the history of European painting and criticism on portrait and the self-image of the artist.
In the context of the MA degree BASA the course aims to broaden and deepen knowledge of Italian artistic culture in relation to European art from the 15th to the 18th century, following study and research methodologies towards the most up to date results.
Students will acquire independence of critical judgement, open to the international context, and the ability to recognise, contextualise and describe artworks and artistic phenomena
