When is a naked male a god? Are females a sum of their hairstyles and clothes? We begin our exploration of the sculptor’s view of the human body in the 7th century BCE and finish as the rise of a newly legal religion changes the form of sculpture in the early 4th century CE. Along the way we will investigate the portrayal of the body in space, the use of emotion, the changing role of nudity as costume, and the depiction of different ethnic groups and ages, the beginning of portraiture, and the representation of non-humans, as the Greek and Roman sculptors portray the Other, the emperor, the god, and more. Note: Field trips are mandatory for this class.

Weekly class lectures and on-site visits provide an outline of the origins and development of Italian and Roman art between the 8th century B.C. and the 4th century A.D. Special attention is paid to the cultures that influenced the formation of Roman art: the Greeks in southern Italy and the Etruscans in Tuscany and Latium. The course deals with architecture (and urban design), sculpture, painting, and mosaics. To complete the picture of Roman art, a survey is also given of Roman art in the provinces of the Empire. The course includes a weekend excursion outside of Rome. Note: This course is taught in Rome.

The visual culture of the Mediterranean region in Late
Antiquity (ca. 200 – 400) is explored, charting the
transformation of the Roman world into an eastern
Mediterranean empire which we call Byzantium, and continuing up to the conquest of Constantinople (Istanbul) in 1453. Special attention is given to the social and religious functions of images and architecture, and to typical settings in which these visual tools were deployed, for example the imperial state, monasticism, and the church. Note: Field trips are mandatory for this class.

This course focuses on the visual culture of Western Europe and the Western Mediterranean from about 400 through the year 1000.

Manuscript illuminations receive special attention. Note: Field trips are mandatory for this class. (Prior to fall 2009, the course title was “The Dark Ages.”)

Note: Field trips are mandatory for this class.
