Professor Kenneth Bartlett helps you appreciate the Italian Renaissance as the moment in history when culture reached a point that is still very much with us, in the way we live our modern lives and in the extant Renaissance cities of contemporary Italy. You will gain an understanding of the underlying social, political, and economic forces that made such exceptional art and culture possible. In this course, you will learn from two masters: Professor Bartlett himself, and the eminent 19th-century art historian Jacob Burckhardt, who created the scholarly model of cultural history through which the Renaissance is still widely studied today.
