AH 105T Study Abroad Experience: Art History, Architecture, and Artistic Exchange in Tudor, Stuart, and Georgian Britain

This course explores the art history of Britain through the architecture, historic sites, and museum collections of London while examining the building of the British empire and its historical and artistic relations with other contemporary European empires of the Atlantic world, particularly with Spain. The histories of Britain and Spain intersected several times throughout the 1400-1800s, through royal marriages, through wars and alliances, and through their colonial endeavors in the Americas where they built empires “on the ruins of the civilizations they encountered and destroyed in North and South America,” as British historian John H. Elliott has argued. The city of London is filled with historical sites and museum collections that speak to the ancient Roman history of Britannia, the formation of the medieval English kingdom, the making of Tudor England, the splendor of the Baroque courts, and the imperialism of Britain overseas. But London is also paramount to understand the relationships (historic, political, and cultural) of
England with other European peoples and lands, including Italy and the Iberian Peninsula.
