Images from textbook, lectures, and videos (know dates that are indicated here):
Titles of artwork (except architecture) should be italicized or underlined in your writing. For architecture, you should also know the city where the building is located.
If the date listed here is different than what’s in the textbook, please learn the one on this page (these correspond to the slides shown in class). I haven’t included dates for everything listed here; you just need to know the dates that are listed.
For names and titles that are difficult to spell: please try to be as accurate as possible! If the name is phonetically correct, that will be OK (i.e. if you miss an “l” in Brunelleschi, I won’t mark it wrong).
