The Course offers a series of art history lectures on “The Magnificent Age of the Baroque” and will focus on how people lived – their homes, their decor, their fashion, their rituals – and how this was reflected in some of the most magnificent art of the age.
Images of death and martyrdom abounded in Baroque painting and sculpture as evidenced in works like Guido Reni’s ‘Massacre of the Innocents,’ Poussin’s ‘Martyrdom of St. Erasmus’, and Algardi’s ‘Death of St. Paul,’ S. Paolo Maggiore, Bologna. In print culture these were especially vicious. There were also vanitas paintings by artists such as Antonio Pereda.
