Course Title: Renaissance Cities: 'Florence'

Start Date: 09/04/2024 End Date: 12/17/2024

Term: Fall Semester 2024

Description: The origins of the Italian Renaissance are usually traced to one city, Florence, where a cultural revival sparked around 1400 gained momentum, ultimately radiating through Europe and beyond to become enshrined in the western canon. This course will bring Renaissance Florence back down to earth by grounding its remarkable creative energy in a convergence of social and historical factors. Taking the long view from the 1200s to the 1500s, we will see how war, plague, belief, ritual, politics, gender, and local and global concerns all played a role in shaping the city's art, architecture, and urban form.
