    Ancient Cities: the Archaeology of Urban Life in the Ancient Near East, Egypt, Greece and Rome, Second Edition

    ART 2311: Art and Architecture in Rome Fall 2016 A Days (Mondays and Wednesdays), 11:30am-1:00pm Aula Magna (plus site visits on some Wednesday afternoons) COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course gives students the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the development of the city of Rome through a study of its art, architecture and urban transformation. It focuses on the major artistic and architectural movements occurring primarily in Italy (as well as their Greek antecedents) from roughly the 8th century BCE to the 20th century CE. In the study of each period we will strive to understand Rome’s artistic and architectural works within the contexts in which they were created. Our study of art, architecture and urban planning will therefore take into account the historical, political, social, religious and cultural contexts of the patrons, artists and viewers. Particular emphasis will be placed on ancient Greece and Rome, early Christianity, the Renaissance and the Baroque periods. We will also explore the reuse, borrowing and revival of ancient artistic and architectural themes in later periods.

The show is structured as a silent conversation with Correggio and forms a part of the Contemporary Assignments project (Committenze Contemporanee), which invites the public to explore the great wealth of the Borghese Gallery’s collection. Launched on the tenth anniversary of the gallery’s reopening, Contemporary Assignments is part of the Ten Great Shows series of programs (Dieci Grandi Mostre). Accordingly, it consists of ten exhibitions, each highlighting a great artist whose work is prominent in the gallery’s historic collection, including Correggio, Titian, Bernini and Caravaggio. The program intensifies the experience of viewing these masterpieces by incorporating the perspectives of contemporary artists. This approach facilitates a fresh perspective on historic artworks, while simultaneously promoting the work and broadening the audience of today’s artists. The works created for the program are commissioned by the Borghese Gallery in cooperation with MAXXI the National Museum of 21st Century Arts, and UniCredit & Art, UniCredit Group’s pan-European project to promote artistic creativity and the dissemination of contemporary languages. In the framework of this innovative partnership between public institutions and the private sector, a joint commission annually selects an artist to be featured in Contemporary Assignments.
