AH 450 Topics in Renaissance Art

The Art of Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelangelo

Professor Munman
Tuesdays & Thursdays 10:30am–1:00pm | 320 Stevenson Hall

It would be difficult, perhaps impossible, to find two more famous names in the history of art than those of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. And while fame is not always warranted by accomplishment and quality, the genius and historical importance of both of these Florentines justifies their renown completely. Art History 450 will concentrate on the artistic development, achievements and interaction of these two men and their places in the creation of Italian Renaissance art. For Leonardo, this means a presentation not only of his (and perhaps the world's) most famous paintings—The Last Supper and the portrait of Mona Lisa—but a number of equally important, if less celebrated, pictures, with special consideration given to Leonardo's drawings and their illumination of the artist's seemingly infinite breadth of interests and invention. For Michelangelo, the course will present a full overview of his artistic attainments of a career of nearly eighty years—sculpture, painting, drawing and architecture—with particular emphasis on the recently restored Sistine Chapel Ceiling and Last Judgement, and on the famed sculpture for the colossal tomb of Pope Julius II.

Professor Robert Munman (PhD Harvard) has taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago since 1974, specializing in Italian Renaissance art and having published extensively on Renaissance sculpture. Prof. Munman has been the frequent nominee, and a recipient, of the Silver Circle Award for Excellence in Teaching, and has also been awarded the University of Illinois CETL (Council for Excellence in Teaching and Learning) award, and, most recently the Alumni Flame Award for Teaching Excellence.
