ARHI 60202 - The Contest of Word and Image in Early Medieval Art

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Art History

Description:

This course will investigate the art produced in Western Europe between the seventh and eleventh centuries. Often characterized as a Dark Age, this period in fact demonstrates a fertile, fluid and inventive response to the legacy of Late Antique Christianity. The course will focus on the production and reception of illuminated manuscripts, perhaps the site where the most original encounters with and re-shaping of this legacy occur. This course should interest those who wish to think through the relationship of words and images on the page and in life.
