  • ARHI 34126: Ancient Greek Painting

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Athens course numbers A353 and A453 - An intensive and comprehensive survey of Greek Painting from the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic period (ca. 3000 - 27 BC). Initial class periods will study the techniques, materials, and functions of Greek painting. A historical survey will follow, focusing upon what the ancient Greeks chose to represent throughout their history and what Greek painting tells 'us' about 'them'. In the Bronze and Iron Ages (3000-ca. 650) Greek art is anonymous, but from the Archaic period many signatures of artists are preserved. From them we are able to learn about their styles, aims and workshops, and at times something of their personalities as well. Special attention will be paid to such painters and their works. In addition to slide lectures and discussions, advantage will be taken of pottery holdings in Athens, with class visits to the Agora, Kerameikos, and National Museum. Students will also be able to see frescoes and painted pottery on all of our field trips.

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course will discuss significant examples from all parts of the Roman world. However, some remarkable monuments in Rome, as the Colosseum and the Pantheon, offer us the advantage to study Roman art directly on site and therefore will be included. Emphasis is put on the stylistic development of Roman art and architecture. Greek and Etruscan origins, the language of images of imperial state monuments, the change of values in late antiquity are only a few topics to be discussed. Of special interest are the specific Roman contributions to the classical tradition, as city planning, building techniques and engineering, amphitheaters for the spectacles, honorary arches and columns with historical reliefs, wall painting and portraiture. Explanation of the different methodologies of research will provide the students with the necessary instruments for their future individual studies on antiquity, art history and architecture.

  • ARHI 34132: The Etruscans and the Origins of Rome

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Taught as AH 221 at host institution. This course explores the history, culture, art and society of the Etruscans from the emergence of their culture in front of the native Italic tradition, to their rise to a mighty sea power in the Mediterranean world until their absorption into the Roman Empire becoming Etruria, one of Augustus's regions of Roman Italy (ca. 1200 - 27 BC). As the Etruscans are known to us especially through the discovery of their tombs Etruscan art is for the most funerary art and therefore this course examines especially their religion and belief in the afterlife, but covers also aspects of their daily life and their society like the role of the women. It focuses on the development of Etruscan art under Oriental and especially Greek influence and its main artistic achievements like large scale terracotta sculpture. This classroom and on-site lectures are supplemented by a mandatory fieldtrip.

  • ARHI 34136: Ancient Roman Portraiture

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    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.
