Description:

Beginning as early as the seventh century, the rapid growth of Christianity inspired new forms of artistic expression and required new types of buildings. Although sometimes disparaged as the "dark ages" in post-Renaissance literature, the Medieval period witnessed a remarkable flowering of both urban and courtly culture, culminating in the form of soaring cathedrals, whose elaborate construction and brilliant decoration became emblems of civic pride. Medieval Art in Western Europe will examine the development of architecture, sculpture and painting from late Antiquity and the fall of the Roman Empire through the Gothic period. Satisfies: Art History/Liberal Arts elective requirement.
