Cls#
34744 TOPIC
: The Dutch Art of Living Well
The class meets 7-9:30 p.m. MW. Here is a course
description from the instructor:
This course traces the role of pleasure in Netherlandish art of
the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries. Part of our investigation will
have to do with subject matter – sex, drink, drugs, and the like – since these
became major topics of interest for Dutch artists and their patrons even as
religion remained a crucial part of daily life. But part of our investigation
will have to do with noteworthy social and intellectual changes, including (but
not limited to) a growing sense of the artist as aesthetically, intellectually,
and even politically independent.
