Week 2 – Rome
Art History Reframed - Autumn 2026: The Great Cities of Europe
This lecture immerses us in Rome during the Baroque period, when the city becomes the stage for one of Europe’s most ambitious artistic programmes. Shaped by the Catholic Counter-Reformation, Rome uses visual culture to project authority, emotion and belief across its churches and public spaces. The work of Caravaggio and Gian Lorenzo Bernini transforms sacred narrative into theatrical experience. The city itself becomes immersive – designed to move the viewer physically and emotionally. Musical excerpts from early Baroque composers such as Monteverdi offer a parallel sense of heightened drama and expressive intensity.
