Introduction to Art History

From Ancient Greeks to Modern Art

The Introduction to Art History course offers a wonderful insight into the history of Western art. During a series of ten lectures and a visit to a museum you will be presented with a chronological overview of the most important movements in the history of art.

Fee: € 195,00

This does not include any entrance fees that may apply if the course is taught at a museum. A Museumkaart pass is recommended.

The tutor will teach you how to analyse and compare what you see, so by the end of the series of lectures you yourself will be able to identify different styles and periods. The lectures will focus on the defining features of a particular style. Considerable attention will also be devoted to individual artists and their work. Discover the world of art in a relaxed setting with an enthusiastic art historian as your guide.

Periods covered during the course:

• Greek Art

• Early Christian and Byzantine Ar

• Romanesque Art

• Gothic Art
