Introduction to the visual arts and architecture of the Renaissance in Europe through a panoramic look The common thread will involve monitoring the be the conception of a new paradigm for the arts in several 15th-century Italian courts and on the spread and varied assimilation of this new model of theory and practice of the visual arts and architecture in the rest of Europe from the end of the 15th century and during the 16th century.The most important artistic centres, ideas and authors will be shown, by examining them in their historical and cultural context, particularly in their connection with the spectacular phenomenon of Humanism.The objects, ideas and authors will be analysed from a broad methodological and critical range with the aim of enriching students’ decision-making competencies for history of art: historiography, analysis of techniques, languages, subjects, genders, functions, reception, visual culture and comparative readings.Students will enter a dialogue with an exciting period, whether because of the nature of its artistic episodes or because of the transcendence that the artistic code of the Renaissance has had for the nature of the h

It is an indispensable subject in the historian of art's training, as it allows them to acquire knowledge of the various theories and methodologies for analysing works of art. It provide students with indispensable conceptual tools for introductions in the field of theoretical reflection on what, through the western tradition, has been visualised as “works of art”. Based on the three systems of identifying the arts in the west: it develops the image system, mimetic system and aesthetic system, especially the latter, which still prevails, with all the nuances, the discipline of history of art. The three great issues that have underlying artistic theoretical reflection are broken down: what is a work of art, who is the artist and what is the relationship between art and truth?
