ARTH428B

Selected Topics in Art History; Small Things in the Renaissance

Very small things, things that could be grasped in the hand or worn on the body, had a particular fascination to sight and to touch in the Renaissance. This course will look at objects such as miniature paintings (narratives, landscapes, portraits), statuettes, jewels, watches, coins, small books, playing cards and dice, writing tools, and naturalia (shells, coral) that people held and that held their attention.
