Transoceanic Dialogues: "Exotic" Arts at Imperial Courts, 1550–1750 Transoceanic trade in the early modern period brought an influx of global arts into cosmopolitan courts around the world. To contextualize and critique the resulting artistic dialogues, noting connections to imperialism and colonialism, we'll look closely at three monarchs: Elizabeth I in England, Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II in Prague, and the Qianlong Emperor in Qing China. We'll examine how these rulers influenced and responded to cross-cultural interactions at their courts - and how they used the arts to legitimize their rule.

Ten years later, he continues to specialize in the paintings of Renaissance Florence, particularly the patronage of the Medici.

"Nostalgia," 2022 Rione Sanità, Naples. Present day. Businessman Felice Lasco (Pierfrancisco Favino) returns from the Middle East to visit his aging mother. Wandering the streets, Felice rediscovers the city, its codes and rituals, and memories that still haunt him. Despite local priest Don Luigi’s advice to leave his past behind, he looks for his boyhood friend Oreste, now a feared local criminal.

Stained glass is unusual among the arts because of its direct relationship with light. When light passes through colored glass, different values, textures, and densities combine to form an extraordinary palette. Explore this magic by creating your own unique leaded stained-glass panel. In this 7-week course, you will learn from stained glass professional Lisa Maywood as you complete one or more 2-dimensional panels that will transform any room or space. The enrollment fee covers the cost of basic drawing materials, lead, solder, cement, and the use of the tools and machinery. Glass will be procured by each student on their own outside of class. Blue Dolphin Glass is a great local source in San Diego.
