The revolutionary instigator of baroque style, Caravaggio (1571–1610) still moves us with his arresting
compositions, dramatic lighting, and deep engagement with human psychology. His life was marked by
bohemianism, violence, murder, and flight. The context includes counterreformation spirituality, eroticism,
naturalism, and Papal court culture. We’ll close with his influence in his own time, and his fame in ours.
Cost: $99

Dorothy L. Sayers quipped that “to know Dante and the Commedia only through Inferno is like knowing
Paris only through its sewer system.” The most human of Dante’s three realms, Purgatory is filled with
song, kindliness, and hope, with ritual, nature, and art.

After the Black Death, Boccaccio penned the Decameron, in which ten youths flee Florence and tell each
other witty, bawdy, and tragic tales. Two hundred years later, Queen Marguerite de Navarre composed a
French version, the Heptaméron. Both address the timeless questions of life, love, and loss. We’ll use the
UO Libraries’s rich holdings in rare books to understand Boccaccio’s reception in the Renaissance. (Lunch
and book included). Cost: $45
