Date: Ongoing every week from February 2, 2011 through February 16, 2011. 4:15 PM.
Location: Cantor Arts Center, Stanford University
Patrick Hunt, who earned his Ph.D. at University of London, has taught at Stanford University since 1993 and is an associate at the UCLA Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. His many published books include Caravaggio; Rembrandt: His Life in Art; and Renaissance Visions: Myth and Art. Leonardo da Vinci is often credited with the reinvention of chiaroscuro in Renaissance drawing and painting. The development of light nuances, however, can be traced from early Renaissance artists Ugo da Carpi and Domenico Beccafumi as well as Albrecht Dürer. Its fullest development was by Caravaggio and his tenebrist followers through to Rembrandt in media including woodcuts, engravings, and paintings. • Chiaroscuro’s antecedents from Roman fresco to Renaissance painting and engraving • Chiaroscuro’s glory in Italy climaxing in Baroque drama • Chiaroscuro’s legacy through Utrecht and the Dutch golden age and beyond Wednesdays, February 2, 9 and 16
