<p>The flourishing artist culture of Renaissance Florence is among the most celebrated moments in art history, and Sandro Botticelli was at the center of it. This special course, taught by an international team of Renaissance experts, explores the themes of the exhibition <a href="https://new.artsmia.org/exhibition/botticelli-and-renaissance-florence-masterworks-from-the-uffizi">Botticelli and Renaissance Florence: Masterworks from the Uffizi</a>, on view this fall. This is a rare opportunity to learn about Botticelli&#8217;s remarkable artistic innovations within the broader history of Renaissance art directly from curators, conservators, and scholars. </p>
<p>Each class focuses on a different theme: art in the Renaissance home; Botticelli&#8217;s contemporaries Perugino and Signorelli; Botticelli&#8217;s depiction of garments; and a behind-the-scenes look at the exhibition. The class is online only, Wednesdays from 12:00-1:30pm CST (1:00-2:30pm EST): November 9, November 16, November 30, December 7. </p>
<p><a href="https://new.artsmia.org/exhibition/botticelli-and-renaissance-florence-masterworks-from-the-uffizi">Botticelli and Renaissance Florence: Masterworks from the Uffizi</a> is on view at Mia through January 8, 2023 in Target Gallery. For tickets, visit the exhibition page.</p>

<p>The Barnes was founded in 1922 by Philadelphia art collector Dr. Albert C. Barnes, with the belief that learning with and through art is a powerful agent for personal growth and social progress. In the Barnes collection, artists such as Renoir and Picasso share space with stunning African masks and Native American jewelry in ensembles that invite the viewer to draw their own connections across artistic traditions and time for a singularly immersive experience.</p>
<p>From thought-provoking exhibitions that champion artists across diasporas, identities, periods, and disciplines, to robust social and educational programs that bring together communities and learners of all ages, the Barnes sparks exploration of our world through art.</p>
