Credits: 3
Examines the development of portraiture and self-portraiture in Europe from the Renaissance through World War I. Considers portraits and self-portraits against changing social, political, religious, and psychological constructs of the self, and in the contexts of artistic theory and practice. Topics include the construction of gender, the reinforcement and subversion of class distinctions, the changing definition of citizenship, racial identity in the context of European colonial conquest, the artist’s self-image, and the distinction between human and animal.
