Etruscan Art and Archaeology

Described by their contemporaries as hedonistic and pleasure-loving, the Etruscans remain one of the most beguiling cultures from classical antiquity. Beginning in the 10 th century BCE and lasting through the rise of the Roman Republic, the Etruscan civilization is often considered the first great Italian civilization—one whose cultural, artistic, architectural, and religious traditions would have a profound influence on their neighbors, the Romans. In this course, we’ll explore what made Etruria so remarkable, from its monumental temples and painted burial chambers, to its masterpieces of metalwork, sculpture, and more. Consideration will also be given to the history of Etruscan archaeology and current developments in the preservation and study of important sites and monuments.
