Description:

This course surveys the artistic achievements of diverse cultures in the medieval Mediterranean world, including Western Europe, Byzantium, Islam, and Judaism. A broad geographic and chronological span-from England to the Near East; from the establishment of Constantinople in the 330s to the late 15th-century paintings of Western Europe-allows for full exposure to the rich variety of objects and monuments that fall under the rubric of "medieval" art. The course provides a solid foundation from which to pursue advanced study of art from specific medieval cultures and serves as a valuable complement to medieval courses in other disciplines.
