Florence, originally founded by the Romans, was governed by the Medici family for centuries. Most of them had a passionate interest in painting, sculpture, architecture, and literature. Still Florence keeps an exceptional artistic heritage, which is marvelous evidence of its aged culture. This course offers students the opportunity to study the works of art from the Renaissance period, while staying in Florence.

This course takes you through Dutch art from the 18th and 19th century, up to the early decades of modernism. After the prosperous 17th century, innovations in the art world stagnated, until artists in the 19th century started to strive for the elusive ideal of truthfulness again, in a totally different way. Sign up for this course and discover the different styles, techniques and approaches of these modern Dutch artists, in paintings and applied arts. This course takes you out of the classroom and into cities, museums and churches – you will not be able to get closer to the masterpieces themselves!
