Architecture & Painting in Seville Undergraduate Research Abroad Program Fall 2023 Semester - Seville

This course will study the most important artistic manifestations in architecture and painting in Seville. For architecture, the city itself will become our classroom, as students will analyze in situ the most important architectonic monuments of the city: the Hispanic-Roman town of Itálica, Tower of Gold and Giralda, Alcázar and Cathedral, Merchants Exchange and Town Hall, La Caridad Hospital and the Church of St. Louis, Tobacco Factory and Maestranza Bullring, International Pavillions for the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition at Park of María Luisa and for the 1992 Universal Exhibition at La Cartuja, together with the different quarters of the city. On painting, students will be able to see and analyze works by Velázquez, Murillo, Zurbarán and Valdés Leal, and by the Romantic Sevillian School exposed in different museums of the city, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Cathedral Museum, and Contemporary Art Museum. Actually, the entire city is a piece of art.
