Titans of the Italian Renaissance
The High Renaissance in Italy was a 30-year tranquil
period at the end of the 1400s through the early 1500s when the
technical mastery to produce illusionistic art and the desire to
make classically-inspired art came together in the hands of
artists determined to be considered intellectuals not mere
craftsmen. We'll look at a rich variety of works by Leonardo da
Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael while exploring their personal
stories, the times in which they lived, and their individual
contributions to art. Celebrities courted by princes and popes,
these men produced some of the most influential works of western
art.
Sept 2 Leonardo da Vinci
Oct 7 Michelangelo
Nov 4 Raphael

Starting in the 1800s Jews had unprecedented opportunities to
embark on a variety of new careers. Some became artists, many
gaining acclaim for their work. We'll explore a number of Jewish
painters, especailly those who depict Jewish subjects or Jewish
stories. We'll look at several Jewish sculptors from Europe, the
US, and Israel, and incude a few Jewish artists and designers
whose creations impacted our daily lives.
