What makes Saint Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican in Rome a great work? Is it the art? Is it the architecture? Using ONLY evidence obtained from the materials from this course (the PowerPoint presentation/discussions, the textbook, and supplementary Blackboard materials)
Compose a persuasive, detailed essay explaining the artistic significance of Saint Peter’s Basilica. As much as possible use key concepts, works of art found within the basilica, elements of the architecture that we have discussed, and aspects of the building’s site and history in order to make your case as effectively as possible (remember that Saint Peter’s basilica and its site have a long history).
Finally, around the time of its major expansion, who had problems with the building of this basilica, what politico-religious movement did it help spark, and what was the basis for the objections being raised regarding the basilica’s construction and what it represented?
NOTE: Your typed answer may not exceed 4 typed pages (approximately 1,000 words) – we are valuing the quality of your answer and uses of evidence, not the quantity of words you are capable of generating. ALSO NOTE: All the words in your essay must be your own
