17th-Century Art in Europe

Credentials in Art History emphasize competencies including knowledge of world art, fine and applied art, and the historical events and people that influenced and created historical art. Though many positions in art history require appropriate education at various levels and additional training, a fundamental understanding of art history provides foundational knowledge that supports many aspects of daily tasks and decision-making for artists, teachers, art therapists, tour guides, librarians, curators, designers, and researchers. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to describe art from seventeenth-century Europe, including characteristics of art from these periods, well-known examples of art and artists from these periods and historical events that influenced the art from this period.
