Subject:

Description:

LAIS, Medieval Studies A study of the art and architecture of the Iberian peninsula, beginning with a brief look at the Celtiberian culture and the colonial activities of the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans. The major focus, however, is on the following areas: Visigothic art; Al-Andalus, the Islamic art of Spain; Asturian and Mozarabic art; and Romanesque art of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. Students investigate the complex patterns of exchange, appropriation, assimilation, and tension among the Islamic, Judaic, and Christian traditions, and they attempt to assess the effects of this cross-fertilization of cultures on the visual arts.
