COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Raphael (1483-1520) was the youngest member of the famed artistic “trinity” that later art historians have credited with creating the High Renaissance style in central Italy around the turn of the 16th century. While the reputations of other two, Leonardo and Michelangelo, have continuously remained strong over the centuries, Raphael’s, on the other hand, has weakened in recent years, although his contribution to the formation of the new Renaissance imagery and its divulgation is unquestionable. This course has a global monographic approach, thus, the artist’s entire output will be discussed and analyzed from an array of historical, thematic and methodological points of view. The aim is to arrive at an understanding of his visual thinking and communicative processes and their development and influence. The mandatory trip may require a fee.

SUMMARY OF COURSE CONTENT:
Raphael (1483-1520) was the youngest member of the famed artistic "triumvirate" that later art historians have credited with creating the High Renaissance style in central Italy around the turn of the 16th century. While the other two, Leonardo and Michelangelo, have become household names synonymous with the concept of "artist," Raphael remains less well known, although his contributions to the formation of the new artistic imagery and its divulgation is central and unquestionable. This course will have a global monographic approach, meaning that the artist's entire output will be discussed and analyzed from an array of historical, thematic and methodological points of view. The aim is to arrive at an understanding of his visual thinking and communicative processes and their development and influence. Classroom lectures will be combined with some site visits in Rome and a full day field trip to Florence.

ACADEMIC HONESTY
As stated in the university catalog, any student who commits an act of academic
dishonesty will receive a failing grade on the work in which the dishonesty occurred.
In addition, acts of academic dishonesty, irrespective of the weight of the assignment,
may result in the student receiving a failing grade in the course. Instances of
academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean of Academic Affairs. A student
who is reported twice for academic dishonesty is subject to summary dismissal from
the University. In such a case, the Academic Council will then make a recommendation
to the President, who will make the final decision.
