ARTH 3022OL - Baroque: Art and Emotions

Online - Semester 2 - 2024

From the earthy naturalism and dramatic light effects of Caravaggio?s paintings to the material opulence and glorious spectacle of Louis XIV?s court at Versailles, Baroque art, architecture, and music offered new sensory experiences that aimed to stimulate and manipulate the emotions. The stylistic complexities of Baroque visual culture were not only an intrinsic manifestation of the continuing religious wars and other conflicts that complicated the Christian worldview and geopolitical map of early modern Europe but also created new networks of intellectual exchange. In this online course, we will investigate the myriad ways artists and patrons created private and public monuments and works of art that embodied the affective dynamism of the Baroque style from the fight against Protestant heresy during the Counter-Reformation to the development of new genres of still life, landscape, and peasants. We will analyse diverse artistic innovations in Italy, France, Spain, Flanders, and the Dutch Republic in sacred and secular works by Gianlorenzo Bernini, Caravaggio, the Carracci brothers, Artemisia Gentileschi, Diego Velazquez, Francisco de Zurbaran, Jusepe de Ribera, Peter Paul Rubens, Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer, Georges de la Tour, Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain among other male and female artists. Topics will cover representations of gender and power, women and creativity, the body, anatomy, and physiognomy, the plague, death, and disease, innovations in portraiture, self-fabrication of cultural identities, and intersections between art and scientific discoveries of the natural world, including botany and entomology. Throughout the course, you will map the cultural reverberations of the Baroque ethos of the emotions within and beyond the creative practices and material culture of seventeenth-century Europe to encounter Neo-Baroque modes of literature, film, and popular entertainment today.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
