    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course explores the architecture, urban planning, sculpture, and painting of Hellenistic Greece and Rome, from the time of Alexander the Great in the fourth century B.C.E. to the reign of the Roman emperor Constantine in the fourth century C.E.

A variety of themes will be addressed, including changing conceptions of monumentality in art and architecture; imperial propaganda in art, architecture and religion; technology as inspiration for new conceptions of art and architecture; the contrasting natures of Greek and Roman art and culture; the influence of Greek culture upon Rome; and the nature and significance of the ever-changing mixture of Greek and native Italic elements in Roman art and architecture.

  • ARHI 60130: Etruscan and Roman Art and Architecture

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Roman Art of the Republic and Empire is one focus of this course, but other early cultures of the Italian peninsula and their rich artistic production are also considered. In particular, the arts of the Villanovans and the Etruscans are examined and evaluated as both unique expressions of discrete cultures and as ancestors of and influence on Rome. The origins and development of monumental architecture, painting, portraiture and historical relief sculpture are isolated and traced from the early first millennium B.C. through the early fourth century of the modern era.

  • ARHI 60200: Introduction to Medieval Art

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course will provide an introduction to the visual arts of the period ca. 300 CE to ca. 1400 CE. In the course of the semester we shall devote much time to considering the possibility of a histoyr of Medieval Art, as the objects and practices of the Middle Ages will be shown to problematize our assumptions about the nature of art history. Working from individual objects and texts we will construct a serios of narratives that will attend to the varieties of artistic practices available to the Middle Ages. From these it will be shown that art was a vital, complex, lucid and formative element in the societies and cultures, both secular and sacred, which shaped this period.

  • ARHI 60202: The Contest of Word and Image in Early Medieval Art

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course will investigate the art produced in Western Europe between the seventh and eleventh centuries. Often characterized as a Dark Age, this period in fact demonstrates a fertile, fluid and inventive response to the legacy of Late Antique Christianity. The course will focus on the production and reception of illuminated manuscripts, perhaps the site where the most original encounters with and re-shaping of this legacy occur. This course should interest those who wish to think through the relationship of words and images on the page and in life.

  • ARHI 60210: Late Antique/Early Christn Art

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Art in late antiquity has traditionally been characterized as an art in decline, but this judgment is relative, relying on standards formulated for art of other periods. Challenging this assumption, we will examine the distinct and powerful transformations within the visual culture of the period between the third and the eighth centuries AD. This period witnesses the mutation of the institutions of the Roman Empire into those of the Christian Byzantine Empire. The fundamental change in religious identity that was the basis for this development had a direct impact upon the visual material that survives from this period, such that the eighth century witnesses extensive and elaborate debates about the status and value of religious art in Jewish, Moslem, Byzantine, and Carolingian society. This course will examine the underlying conditions that made iamges so central to cultural identity at this period.

  • ARHI 60212: Byzantine Art

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Byzantine art has often been opposed to the traditions of western naturalism, and as such has been an undervalued or little known adjunct to the story of Medieval art. In order to develop a more sophisticated understanding of this material we will examine the art produced in Byzantium in the period from the ninth to the twelfth century, a period which marks the high point of Byzantine artistic production and influence. Stress will be placed upon the function of this art within the broader setting of this society. Art theory, the notions of empire and holiness, the burdens of the past and the realities of contemporary praxis will be brought to bear upon our various analyses of material from all media. How we, as art historians, can write the history of this rich culture will be a central issue of this course.
