Global Baroque

Global Baroque
The Baroque style of art and architecture that flourished in 17th century Europe and spread throughout the rest of the world is often referred to as the first truly global style. In this course we will examine the spread of the Baroque throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa in the 17th and 18th centuries. We will focus not only on the forces that contributed to the broad reach of the Baroque—such as trade, exploration, colonization, missionary work, and artistic exchange—but also on the persistence of local artistic styles in the context of the Baroque. 3 hrs. sem.
