Division I
This is not the current course catalog
Class Details
This lecture course investigates how humans have shaped and interpreted nature through a study of gardens, architecture, and painting from antiquity to the nineteenth century, with a focus on Europe and the early modern period. It traces the persistence of the classical tradition in European landscape design and also addresses to a lesser extent the Islamic world and America. Approaching landscape and the garden as expressive media, we examine the social and intellectual contexts of their design and themes such as the sacralization of landscape, its use as an instrument of power, and the invention of landscape as an idea.
