ART 295-01 - Special Topic: Women and the French Rococo

4 credits (Fall)
As patrons and as subjects, aristocratic women played a key role in the development and the promotion of the Rococo style in France. This course will examine both the style itself and the women behind its efflorescence. In addition to reading the art historical literature on the subject, we will also examine the historical biographies of several important email patrons of the arts, including Madame de Pompadour and Marie Antoinette.

Prerequisite: ART 103 .
