*The Motif in Renaissance and Baroque Art of the Italian Peninsula*  
Shawon Kinew  
Monday 3-5:45pm  
This course studies the invention, permutations and transformations of visual motifs in the art of Renaissance and Baroque Italy, 1400-1700. The mirror, the shadow, the nymph, a person who can fly—what can the specific study of these motifs tell us of origins and identities, of love and violence, in early modern Italy? By taking this non-chronological approach, this course thinks critically and diachronically through the artworks of Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Caravaggio, Bernini and others, artists often in conversation with one another across space and even across time.
