Global Immersion Program Focus:
Art Through Time - a Journey Across Barcelona's Artistic Epochs
This History of Art in Barcelona course provides a comprehensive overview from Roman Barcelona to the Renaissance and Baroque periods. After a general introduction outlining the course's objectives and emphasising the cultural significance, we will explore the artistic legacy of Roman Barcelona, the artistic evolution during the medieval era (Romanesque and Gothic styles), and key developments in the Renaissance and Baroque periods. This culminates in a walking tour through Barcelona, a practical experience to immerse participants in important monuments and heritage sites studied. Overall, the course offers a comprehensive understanding of the city's rich artistic history.
Modernisme Unveiled - Tracing Barcelona's Architectural Evolution from Industrial Roots to Gaudi's Masterpieces. Around 1900, Modernisme represented the desire for modernisation in Catalan culture as a whole. Architecture, fine art, music and literature played a decisive role in this project. This course will examine the work of the main architects and designers of Catalonia during the Art Nouveau era. Special attention will be paid to the Modernista architects such as Antoni Gaudí, Lluís Domènech i Montaner and Josep Puig i Cadafalch. A session will be also dedicated to the urban transformation of the city for the Olympic Games of 1992.
