Description:

This course is a comprehensive study of the most important examples of visual art in Western Eu-rope from the period spanning the transforma-tion of the late Roman Empire and Byzantium into the High Middle Ages. Emphasis will be placed on the interpretation of the artworks, their overlapping influences, symbolism, and Chris-tianity. Among the topics discussed are: the Ro-manesque and Gothic Cathedrals, monasteries and castles, as well as illuminated manuscripts, stained glass, and the ecclesiastical sculpture of these structures. The class will approach these issues through the use of a textbook and suppor-tive readings as well as electronic media images. A visit to the Cloisters-a branch of the Metro-politan Museum of Art-to view their fine col-lection of Medieval art, will be included. Recommended: ART 151/ Art History I
