ARHI 2341 - Late Medieval Art

Institution:

Fordham University

Subject:

Description:

Covering the period 1200 to ca. 1450, this course focuses on major centers of art production and patronage in Italy: Rome, Venice, Tuscany (Florence, Siena, Pisa), and--to a lesser extent--Milan and Bologna. Painting in its great variety on the peninsula--murals, panels, and manuscript illumination-- will be the primary subject, along with material in related media like mosaics, enamelwork, and ivories. Italy, however, was a crossroads, and manifestations of artistic influence on or from places as diverse as France and Byzantium will also be considered. Attention to formal issues and the question of "style" will join an ongoing concern for the context and function of representative works, thus bringing to the fore the intersection of visual production with major political, social, and religious developments. 4.000 Credit Hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate, Post Baccalaureate Schedule Types: Lecture Undergraduate Colleges College Art History and Music Department
