Be on the cutting-edge of an appreciation for influential periods of art history - Medieval, Renaissance, 19th century, early-20th-century – and their links to today.
Join me in rooted yet critical considerations of the masters of art history and the diverse cultures that produced them. We'll talk about portraits, landscapes, interiors, madonnas, symbols, and individual masterpieces.
