Arts and Culture: Art and Architecture before 1800

Architecture is a specialisation of Leiden University's Master's in Arts and Culture. In this specialisation you not only study architectural history from the perspective of the architects, their designs and the way in which their work is implemented, you also pay attention to clients, the public and how the public responds to architecture and the built-up environment. Central themes include: * Italian baroque * exchanges between Italy and the Low Countries in the period from 1500 to 1750 * alternative architecture discourses in the 20th century, from regionalism and traditionalism to neo-baroque * architecture theory, where thinking on the impact of buildings on the public is key, as in classical rhetoric or the sublime. In Leiden you will study these themes in close co-operation with the Dutch interuniversity art history institutes in Rome and Florence. Excursions are a structural part of the programme. The programme is unique in that it studies works of art, buildings, material culture and design from the Middle Ages up to the present day.
