Description:

Italian medieval art is very different from that of the rest of Europe because it clings to a classicism inherited from its Roman past, augmented by frequent borrowings from Byzantium. The course concentrates on the art of Italy from the time Constantine made Rome a "Christian" capital untilthe time of Giotto, with particular attention to the ecclesiastical and social structures peculiar to Italy that shaped its art in a distinct way.
