ARHI 34136 - Ancient Roman Portraiture

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Art History

Description:

Taught as AH 354 at host institution. The course is a detailed examination of portraiture in the Roman world. Portraiture reached phenomenal proportions during the Roman Empire. This is a genre in which the individualistic Romans excelled, and their output has greatly influenced all subsequent western portraiture. It is also important to recognize that self-representation and image-making significantly reflect the thought patterns of the society in which they were created. Thus, the study of Roman portraiture not only is of value in tracing trends and origins of an artistic genre but is also of major relevance to the social history of the Roman period.
