Storia della pittura italiana: Il Medioevo

Each lesson will be devoted to a particular artist or group of artists who are representative of their time. The first module of 5 lessons will cover medieval painting in Italy and focus on artists such as Cimabue, Giotto, Simone Martini, Pisanello, Gentile da Fabriano.

The first part of each session will be a lecture about the artist, their life and work. The historical and social context will be also analysed in order to better understand each artist’s background, work and thinking. A group discussion and themed-based language activities will follow the lecture.
