Manhattanville College

Subject:

Description:

This course begins with a brief survey of painting in the Ancient Near East, Egypt, and Greece, and will focus on Roman painting in particular. The paintings and mosaics preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 C.E. provide a unique opportunity to examine these ancient media within their cultural, architectural and archaeological context. We will explore the Roman practice of copying paintings by renowned Greek painters, and of "translating" these paintings in to mosaic, aswell the use of styles and subjects that are uniquely Roman. Mandatory attendance at all required field trips and writing workshops. Prerequisite: One art history course or permission of the instructor. ( Fall'08)
