This course is part of the overall objective of the degree program, which aims to train highly qualified professionals through a solid, specialized education.
The course aims to explore the history of drawing and printmaking—in their various techniques, forms, and types—by combining hands-on experience with the works themselves with a critical analysis of sources, while emphasizing the close connection between technique, style, and function.
Upon completion of the course, students will be familiar with the key moments in the history of the graphic arts in Europe and will be able to place the works of art analyzed in class within their proper historical and critical context and in relation to one another. To this end, methodological and bibliographic resources will be provided to enable students to independently conduct a careful study of the works, identifying their chronology, technique, provenance, and style.
Students will acquire the skills and methodologies necessary to understand the practice of drawing and engraving developed primarily in Italy within its European context from the 15th century to the present day.
The course will focus on the techniques and stylistic characteristics of artists from various geographical contexts, their influences, and the dissemination of artistic models, as well as the history and major developments in collecting related to this specific field.
