ARHI 60220 - Kingdom, Empire, and Devotion: Art in Anglo-Saxon, Ottonian, and Romanesque Europe

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Art History

Description:

Although the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom and Ottonian Empire overlap in time during the 10th and 11th centuries, the images and objects produced by both cultures manifest the different political, social, and religious identities being deliberately constructed. By the mid-11th century, the Normans had invaded England, the Salian emperors had succeeded the Ottonians, and European art is more cohesively and problematically labeled as Romanesque. This class will examine Anglo-Saxon and Ottonian art as individual visual traditions. We will explore various cultural, political, and religious issues as they are worked through and revealed in the images and objects that survive from these regions.
