This course ranging from Ancient Rome to the mid-eighteenth century will study the life and work of four outstanding personalities, each pre-eminent in one branch of the arts. Beginning with Cicero and his achievement as one of the greatest orators and prose writers of Republican Rome, the course will then move to Renaissance Florence, Rome and Venice, with a study of the life and careers of Raphael and Titian. The course will conclude with life and career of Domenico Scarlatti in Naples and Rome.
