| This subject studies the applied Arts û Silver and Jewels, Furniture, Tapestries, Ceramic and Porcelain - in Europe during the XV-XX centuries., because other subjects such as History of the Classical Arts, History of the Ibero-American Arts, etc. should include their respective Applied Arts. The main objective is to enable students to know how to recognize and to understand the different artistic phenomena in those inappropriatedly called ôminor Artsö during a wide period of time and to supplement the training obtained in other subjects. At the same time emphasis is made on the appropriate terminology. For instance, we will distinguish a custody from a sacrarium or a Médicis porcelain plate - 16th century - from one from the Saxony factory - 18th century -. |
