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 classrooms and computer lab) located in the historic center of Rome and, then, continue with visits to museums, churches, fountains and squares throughout the city. |
On the three Fridays, there will be additional excursions, the last of which will be outside Rome to Tivoli, one of the most famous gardens in the world. The three weekends allow for continued exploration of the city and optional visits to other famous sites; for example, Florence, birthplace of the renaissance, or Pompeii, the ancient Romantown buried by an eruption of the volcano Vesuvius.
