About this Travel Course

The technique of renaissance painting in Italy is dedicated to the study of the important painting techniques of the late medieval period and the Renaissance, specifically pure egg yolk tempera, gilding, silverpoint and oil painting by the Venetian method (a monochromatic under painting with color glazes on top). Following two weeks of studio work in Providence, students travelled to Venice, Padua, Florence, Siena and Rome, Italy to inspect first hand great paintings from these periods, and learn how methods and materials affect artistic outcomes.
