May 21st to July 1st, 2009

The Tuscany Landscape Painting Program offers both painting majors and non-majors the opportunity to spend six weeks studying landscape painting on the estate of Capitignano in Tuscany overlooking the olive groves and vineyards of the Mugello Valley. Capitignano is beautifully situated on a hillside offering breathtaking views of the Tuscan landscape. It is an unparalleled setting for painters.

Students will enroll in two courses: Landscape Painting and a second course in either Art History or Elementary Italian Language. Courses will integrate visits to the museums and masterpieces of Florence, a 45-minute drive from Capitignano. Courses and studio work are conducted at Capitignano and students are housed there (www.capitignano.org). Upon successful completion of the program, students earn eight Boston University credits.
