Subject Description | This subject is taught in Rome during a one-month study tour. It considers the city of Rome both from an urbanistic perspective, and in terms of the art and architectural history of its monuments. The subject aims to develop an understanding of the form and history of the Renaissance and Baroque city, not only as the result of social forces and papal patronage, but also as a consciously created aesthetic object, perhaps the finest example of the city as work of art. Close attention will be paid to maps, bird's-eye views, topographical prints, drawings, and vedute (view paintings) as primary documents of the earlier history of the sites. The subject is organised topographically, and each session focuses on a different part of Rome, as well as on the villas and gardens in the region. |
Assessment | Written work totalling 10,000 words. This will consist of exercises or papers totalling 3000 words written in Rome, and a research essay or essays totalling 7000 words submitted three months after the completion of the fieldwork. |
