| Course contents : | This course offers a survey of the major aspects of the art-historical research applied to the period comprised between the 15th and the end of the 18th century. It includes practical exercices in order to redefine and reconsider the most important methods and issues of the discipline (ekphrasis ; connoisseurship, the story of the Art History ; formalism ; contextualism) and a theoretical and historical approach of those trends as well. Finally, it encourages an epistemological assessment of them. |
