When you travel to Spain, you will be surrounded by magnificent works of architecture, painting and sculpture from all eras of the Iberian peninsula's history, from prehistoric caves to mind-boggling surrealist masterpieces of the 20th century. However, it is difficult to understand another culture's artistic productions in depth just by passing through as a tourist. The Spanish & Art History Course is a great option for those who want to learn all about Spanish Art History and consequently acquire a greater understanding of the sights that surround them. We will reflect on some of Spain's most important trends and artistic representations in a variety of mediums and study the influence of the major civilizations that have passed through Spain: Roman, Moorish, Mudejar, Renaissance, Baroque, etc. We will also look at some of Spain’s most representative painters including Goya, Velasquez, Picasso, Miro and Dali.
