Faculty
Prof. Michael Stoughton was a member of the Department of Art History from 1969 to 2002. His specialty is Italian art of the renaissance and baroque periods and he taught a course in Florence on renaissance art from 2000-2007.
He began teaching in Rome in 2008
Curriculum
After an introduction to the high renaissance (Michelangelo, Sistine Chapel ceiling; St. Peter’s Basilica), the course will cover major masterpieces of architecture, sculpture and painting of the seventeenth century by the most famous artists of the time (Caravaggio, Carracci, Bernini, Borromini).
Monday through Thursday, lectures begin at the study center (with classroom and computer lab) located in the historic center of Rome and, then, continue with visits to world famous museums, churches, fountains and squares throughout the city. On the three Fridays, there are additional excursions, the last of which will be outside Rome to Tivoli, with one of the most famous gardens in the world.
Eight free days allow for further exploration of Rome (Pantheon, Colosseum) or independent travel to other legendary places in Italy; for example, Florence, birthplace of the renaissance, or Pompeii, the ancient Roman town buried by an eruption of the volcano Vesuvius.
What better way to do two things at once, live and study in Rome and receive 4 semester credits. You have seen “Angels and Demons,” now experience the city.
