      The goal The course aims to introduce students to the principal developments in the visual arts from the Renaissance to the present day, as well as to the most significant artistic phenomena, styles, artists, and achievements that shaped European and global art from the fifteenth to the twenty-first century. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding works of art as historically and culturally conditioned creations, acquiring fundamental concepts of art history, and examining the development of architecture, sculpture, painting, and new artistic media within their social, political, religious, and intellectual contexts. The course also aims to develop students' ability to relate visual culture to literature, philosophy, ideology, and broader cultural history, while understanding changes in the status of the artist, the function of the artwork, and concepts of artistic creation from the early modern period to the present.
      The outcome Upon completion of the course, students will be able to identify, chronologically situate, and contextualize representative works of art, artists, and stylistic phenomena from the Renaissance to the present day. They will acquire fundamental knowledge of the development of architecture, sculpture, painting, and new artistic media, including their formal, iconographic, and cultural-historical characteristics. Students will be able to apply basic art-historical terminology in describing and interpreting works of art, recognize the principal characteristics of Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical, Romantic, Realist, modern, and contemporary art, identify continuities and transformations in visual representation, and understand the relationship between artistic production and literature, philosophy, ideology, and social history.
