The Metropolitan Museum of Art contains one of the most inclusive surveys of European art in this hemisphere--from Greek, medieval, Renaissance, mannerist, and baroque to the 19th-century impressionists and postimpressionists. Using the Metropolitan Museum of Art as our classroom, this course offers an introduction to centuries of artistic expression through a variety of narratives--including the history of masterpieces, the history of styles and techniques, issues of gender and social environment, and finally, an examination of the museum itself as the repository and arbiter of these various approaches and viewpoints.
Tuition includes museum fees. No grades issued.
