European art of the "long" eighteenth century (1680-1815) experienced radical shifts in aesthetic, social, and political orientation: from the splendors of absolutism to the austere neoclassicism of revolutionary art. This course explores painting and sculpture (and works in other media) in relation to the development of a public sphere, the emergence of individualism, the invention of personal domestic comfort, the introduction of women to artistic power, the scientific revolution, and the birth of global consumer culture.

Additional Course Details:

This course explores European art from the reign of Louis XIV through the French Revolution—a period marked by the birth of modern ideas about individualism, the senses, liberty, love, sex, and the family. We will explore how these social and intellectual transformations were reflected in the subject matter and materiality of paintings and prints, and in the sensuous objects and furnishings that helped define the modern domestic interior as a space of comfort, convenience, privacy, and intimacy.

Art history is by its nature interdisciplinary, and so this course, while it is intended as the capstone for art history majors, also welcomes voices (and eyes) from other disciplines. We will look at a variety of case studies addressing works of art and architecture, and students will research their own topics, in an effort to understand better the strengths and weaknesses of art historical thought, both past and present.
