Description
The European Highlights course combines a broad approach with profound analysis over a period of six weeks in Florence, Utrecht and Berlin. Seize this opportunity to travel back in time and through some of Europe's most incredible museums in only one summer.
In Florence, you will have the chance to see the works of the great Italian Masters of the Renaissance in the flesh, visiting the many renowned museums, magnificent cathedrals and grand palaces.
The journey then continues up north, to Utrecht. Since the Netherlands is a relatively small country, we will visit several cities to discover the Golden Age of Dutch Art. All the landscapes, seascapes, portraits and still lifes may look so realistic that one can feel the sea-breeze and smell the grapes, but in fact, nothing in these artistic works really is what it seems.
The last two weeks you will stay in Berlin, where you will focus on the circumstances that shaped the production and reception of German art during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Upon completion, you will have experienced Western Art in broad strokes, and covered particular periods in great detail. The course is highly interactive, and for a large part takes place in front of the original artworks.
Target audience
The course is open to participants (graduates and non-graduates) from all disciplines with a keen interest in Art History. No previous experience required.
