Institution:

Dickinson College

Subject:

Description:

This course will examine the development of medieval art, architecture and sculpture in the romanesque and gothic styles, drawing principally on regional examples. The wealth of Roman remains in southwestern France will help clarify connections between medieval art and its ancient predecessors. Classroom lecture and discussion will be augmented by on-site study of churches, cloisters and museums in the Toulouse area. Outstanding examples of private dwellings in Toulouse dating from the Renaissance will illustrate the passage between the end of the Middle Ages and the following periods. Issues of style, patronage and function will be considered with the political and cultural contexts of the 11th through the 18th centuries. Offered only at the Dickinson Study Center in Toulouse.
