Spring 2008 Semester

Beginning in the late sixteenth century, it became fashionable for young aristocrats to visit Paris, Venice, Florence, Rome and beyond, as the culmination of their classical education. Thus was born the idea of the Grand Tour, a practice which introduced Englishmen, Germans, Scandinavians and also Americans to the art and culture of France, Italy, Greece and the Middle East for the next 300 years.

This semester we will explore the Grand Tour and the influence that the opening of Europe to affordable travel had on expanding cultural and scientific knowledge, including new artistic movements, technological advances and avant-garde trends.
