By combining studies from Utrecht and Berlin, you will be able to get a glimpse of different centuries of art history in Northern Europe.
This four-week course is offered in collaboration with the Freie Universität in Berlin. You will have the chance to explore the art scenes of these two vibrant cities, both from a past and present perspective, to compare differences and similarities between the two locations, and join museum visits.
Discover more than 1,000 years of European Art and European Art History this summer. Learn about the Golden Age of Dutch Art and the many social, historical, religious and cultural factors that influenced art production during that time. Find out how life shaped art and how the arts shaped life in Utrecht during the 16th century. Then join our classes from Berlin and go back further in time to medieval times. Learn about the varying circumstances that shaped the production and reception of German art from the Middle Ages through the twenty-first century. The notions of a national identity and its connections to artistic expressions will be an important element of this course and introduce you to political art and the politics of art.
The course is open to participants (graduates and non-graduates) from all disciplines with a keen interest in Art History. No experience required.
