About this listen

Christina Fleps is a retired lawyer who has served as a docent at the National Gallery of Art and art lecturer at the Woman’s Club of Chevy Chase. This course examines Renaissance art from Giotto and Masaccio to Caravaggio and Gentileschi. Embarking from Byzantine icons, our Renaissance tour explores: how artists developed new techniques for realistic depiction of space, form, and emotion; how private powers like the Medici came to rival the Church as art patrons; and how artists changed from anonymous guild members to renowned "rock stars" like Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian.
