Learning outcomes

This course aims to provide the fundamental tools for understanding the formal development and the most relevant themes that can be found in the oeuvre of the painter Vittore Carpaccio; in particular, paintings will be analysed with the help of a wide series of sources (drawn from litterature, documents, etc.).
This course will underline the role played by Carpaccio in the Venetian context and his response to the social values of the time. In this light, a special focus will be set on iconography and iconology, stressing the painter’s connection to contemporary culture, not only in the visual field.
