Universitat Permanent Universidad Permanente NAME OF THE SUBJECT: FROM ‘TENEBRAE’ TO MODERNITY: ITALIAN ART OF THE TH TRECENTO ( 14 CENTURY) TEACHERS: Rafael Navarro Mallebrera ............................................ ([email protected]) Xavier Carro Rosende...................................................... ([email protected]) ACADEMIC YEAR: 2013-14 OBJECTIVES: In Italy, the time comprised between the late years of the 13th century and the first half of the 14th century was a period of vigorous growth and incessant search for paths in art. Likewise, the development of Florence and Siena painting from 1350 to 1400 was crucial to art history: the aspects of reality and the problems related to shape were subjected to new values, attitudes and approaches that would determine the first Renaissance that the enlightened ones will know. METHODOLOGY: Despite trying to offer a reasonably wide overview, the course will especially focus on the most important artists and works of the period. And they will be simultaneously related to the social, moral and cultural context.
