Viewing great works of art, explore the hero’s journey as identified by scholar Joseph Campbell. Begin with one of the cornerstones of Hindu mythology, the epic journey of Rama in the Ramayana, before discussing Rubens’s archetypical David Slaying Goliath. As you move into the 19th century, decide whether Manet’s Ragpicker or Van Gogh’s Peasant are heroes or anti-heroes.
