This undergraduate final-year 15 CATS module is only available to students on the 'Renaissance and Modern History' pathway.
The module allows students to analyse the historical meanings of 鈥榓rts鈥� - in which luxury objects are considered alongside painting, sculpture and architecture - by placing them in the context of early modern European society. Its ample geographical focus (Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, France and England) is designed to highlight the different paths by which Europe acquired a shared visual culture.
This module gives students the opportunity to study a set of problems in depth, with the aid of primary printed sources and artefacts (to be studied directly in museum collections and through internet resources). It is also intended to develop the ability of students to engage with visual materials in order to broaden and refine their historical analyses.
