The Grand Tour
- Multi-Country
Term: Summer
Description:
This fully escorted tour will provide an extensive introduction to Europe as participants explore historic treasures and contemporary European life in such cities as Amsterdam, Paris, Lausanne, Basel, Florence, Venice, and Rome. The class will focus on three periods of European art: the Italian Renaissance, the Dutch Golden Age, and the French Impressionist period. We will look at the art produced during these high points of European history, and we will try to understand the cultural worlds that produced them. The tour is directed by Dr. Larry ten Harmsel, who has taught at WMU for more than 25 years. Dr. ten Harmsel is also a freelance writer, a translator for the Dutch National Translation Institute, an occasional singer and actor on local stages, and former chair of the Kalamazoo Bach Festival Society.
