The instructor draws connections among the historical events of the period, the aesthetic
ideas current in the period, the technologies of the time period, specific cultural milieux,
and the contributions of individual artists. The course is designed to present the study of
art history as an examination of the contributions of artists within the context of broader
historical, religious, and cultural developments.
