This module serves as a small-class adjunct to the lecture modules, and it is intended that these classes augment the material covered in lectures. Through class discussion, directed to reinforce and expand upon lecture topics, this module is intended to facilitate a deeper, more critical understanding of European art from the High Renaissance to the developments of the early Baroque. At least one tutorial will be conducted in the National Gallery.
