Notes: An extra media fee of 4,500 yen is required. Field trips are mandatory in this class. Topical Course Description: Our image of the Renaissance is deeply connected to Italy. But the early modern era is one of growing global connectedness, and thus opens up the idea of a Global Renaissance(s). This course will examine the artistic world of the Renaissance (14th-16th century) in relation to its global interconnectedness. Mixing ideas from art history, post-colonial studies and the evolving world of global studies, this class examines the role of cross-cultural exchange, travel, trade, diplomacy, conquest and patronage in shaping artistic production and reception of artworks in Italy and beyond. We will consider artworks from various perspectives, including geographic/cultural (e.g., Europe, Asia, the Islamic World, etc.) and individual (e.g., gender, ethnicity, sexuality, etc.). Topics include itinerant artists from Madrid to Constantinople to Nagasaki; depicting foreignness in Renaissance art; women artists; sexuality in art; global trade in art; the Americas in Renaissance art.
