The Baroque period began in seventeenth century Rome, but this energetic and dynamic style soon spread beyond the city. This course will explore some of the great Baroque, mainly non-Italian, painters. Artists will include Rubens, Van Dyck, the ‘Utrecht Caravaggists’ and Rembrandt. Finally, we will study a unique take on the style and its subject matter through the work of female artist Artemisia Gentileschi.
