Humanities West presents Dawn of the Italian Renaissance (1275-1400), a two-day program of lectures, discussions, and musical performances exploring the rich contributions of early Italian Renaissance artists, architects, writers and musicians. Learn about Duccio, Giotto, Simone Martini, and Giovanni Pisano as each entered new territory in painting and sculpture, paving the way for later artists such as Masaccio and Brunelleschi. Discover how Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio wrote their masterpieces in verse and prose, which Chaucer would later retrieve and reimagine in the English language.
