  • ANTH 34335: Byzantine Art & Architecture

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    The course surveys the development of Byzantine art from the Late Antique Period through the Palaeologan periods. Architecture provides the framework from which the other arts, especially mosaic, fresco, panel painting, and manuscript illumination are examined. These works are looked at in terms of their formal characteristics, but the emphasis of the course is placed on exploring the meaning of this art beyond its formal aspects, and on appreciating its function in Byzantine society, particularly as a reflection of both the theological concerns and the political realities that the Byzantine Empire confronted. Readings introduce a range of approaches to this art in current scholarship, and class trips to a number of monasteries and museums, allow personal investigation of some of the most important and beautiful examples of Byzantine Art that have survived.
