The Glitterati of Italy’s Trecento

The Proto-Renaissance or Trecento (1300’s) was the crucial period in Italian art marking a pivotal shift from medieval religious traditions towards secular themes. The century witnessed the emergence of merchant class patronage and major developments in panel painting, fresco, and sculpture. Its artistic innovations, new pictorial techniques, and more classical sensibility profoundly influenced subsequent artistic developments in Italy and beyond. This class will present details about the socio-cultural changes characteristic of the era and examine works by major artists like Cimabue, Giotto, Duccio and others who laid the groundwork for the Italian Renaissance.
