Write a concise analytical summary for readings. 480 to 600 words in length (2 to 2.5 pages) excluding footnotes (no bibliography required), Times New Roman, size 12 font, double spaced, 1-inch margin all around, 8.5 x 11 paper. Footnotes follow the Chicago Manual of Style. Write three or four paragraphs (full sentences, not bullet points) describing: what the reading is about (e.g. Titians Venus of Urbino or the symbolic significance of Venetian doors) and what particular problem or issue the topic presents; how the author approaches the topic in terms of methods and types of evidence (e.g. other images, documents, historical contexts, etc.provide some specifics); how the author uses this approach to make a particular argument; what you think of the arguments broader implications for the way we think about Baroque art and architecture. For this component, you can relate the readings argument to that weeks contextual reading; and finally, what surprised you about the reading and/or what confused you about the reading. Note: You do not necessarily need to respond to these points in this order or at equal lengths, but they should all be included somehow, and the order should make sense for the analysis. You can use a maximum of one quotation, but you should explain its significance as a quotation, and you must provide a page number in the footnote (Chicago Style). No bibliography required.
