Art History
Graduate Seminar
Tu Th 2:10-4PM
This course examines the relationship between architectural culture and the technology of printing in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Europe. Studying manuscripts and drawings, printed books, and woodcuts, etchings, and engravings, we will explore how print shaped architectural thought and practice and analyze a range of architectural treatises in terms of medium and content. In doing so, this seminar will place these objects in relation to other illustrated manuals that proliferated in the Renaissance and interrogate a number of critical issues such as the materiality of text and image; copying, codification, and the didactic role of print; and technology and nature of media in the Renaissance. Close object-based study will be central to the class and numerous sessions will utilize collections in New York
