ARHI 60250 - Gothic Art and Architecture

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Art History

Description:

The first monument definitively labeled as "Gothic" is the Abbey church at St. Denis, yet no correlating monument or object exists to mark the finale of Gothic art. The term "Gothic" carries a wide range of connotations and it is applied to European art and architecture from the mid-12th century to roughly the 15th century. In examining the architecture, sculpture, manuscripts, metalwork, wall-paintings & textiles from these centuries, this class will compare the implications historically ascribed to "Gothic" with the ideas promoted by the cultures & individuals actually creating these objects. Although the focus of this course will be France, comparative material from Germany, England, Austria, & Italy will be included.
