ARHS 1350 - Art in the Portuguese Empire


Credits: 3

During 1494-1654, Portugal created the world’s first truly global empire, using the arts to help project a combination of political, economic, and especially cultural hegemony. Students focus on issues of cultural globalization and concepts of empire in the visual cultures of Portugal, West and East Africa, Brazil, India, Sri Lanka, China, and Japan, paying particular attention to the rich, new artistic traditions that arose as these diverse cultures intermingled.
