  • ARHI 60220: Kingdom, Empire, and Devotion: Art in Anglo-Saxon, Ottonian, and Romanesque Europe

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Although the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom and Ottonian Empire overlap in time during the 10th and 11th centuries, the images and objects produced by both cultures manifest the different political, social, and religious identities being deliberately constructed. By the mid-11th century, the Normans had invaded England, the Salian emperors had succeeded the Ottonians, and European art is more cohesively and problematically labeled as Romanesque. This class will examine Anglo-Saxon and Ottonian art as individual visual traditions. We will explore various cultural, political, and religious issues as they are worked through and revealed in the images and objects that survive from these regions.

  • ARHI 60250: Gothic Art and Architecture

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    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.

  • ARHI 60251: Early Christian/Byzantine Art

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course will introduce students to the visual arts of the period ca. AD 200 to ca. AD 1600. Our work will take us from the first fashioning of an identifiable Christian art through to the remarkable poetics of Late Byzantine painting. In so doing, the student will be introduced to the full array of issues that arise around the question of there being a Christian art. Working from individual objects and texts, we will construct a variety of narratives that will reveal a vital, complex, and rich culture that, in a continuing tradition, has done so much to shape the visual imagination of Christianity.

  • ARHI 60313: The High Renaissance in Rome and Florence

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Leonardo, Michelangelo, Bramante, and Raphael provide the basis for a study of one of the most impressive periods of artistic activity in Italy - the High Renaissance in Florence and Rome. It was Leonardo da Vinci's revolutionary example that imposed extraordinary artistic and intellectual changes on an entire generation of painters, sculptors, and architects. Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, the new Republic of Florence, and the imperial papacy of Julius II recognized that the genius of Leonardo, Bramante, Michelangelo, Raphael, and others, could be brought into the service of the State. Under Julius, the Papal States, became the supreme state in Italy, and for the first time in centuries, the papacy ranked as a great European power. With the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's (redesigned on a colossal scale by Bramante), the Vatican Palace (its city facade and Belvedere by Bramante, and papal apartments decorated by Raphael), and the Papal tomb (designed by Michelangelo), Rome, for the first time since the time of the Caesars, became the center of Western art.

  • ARHI 60314: Sem:Mannerism:Ptg & Sculpture

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course will explore the artistic rends in Italy after the High Renaissance (c. 1520) and before the Baroque (c. 1580), and will begin with definitions of terminology and a brief historiographic survey. Our attention will then turn to the Roman art of Raphael's heirs, Giulio Romano, Perino del Vaga, and Polidoro data Caravaggio, and the emerging Tuscan painters Pontormo, Rosso Fiorentino, and Domenico Beccafumi. We will also investigate the dispersal of the Roman school: Giulio Romano to the Gonzaga course in Mantua, in 1524, and following the Sack of Rome by imperial troops in 1527, other maniera artists to Genoa, Bologna, Parma, and as far as the French royal chateau at Fontainebleau. Rome consequently experienced a revival at the end of the reign of Clement VII, and under the pontificate of Paul III, notably, the arts, politics, and theology flourished. This period may be marked by such diverse works and Michelangelo's monumental Last Judgment (1536-41) and his frescoes (1542-45) in the Pauline Chapel, Vatican Palace, the decorations (1536-51) by various mannerist artists in San Giovanni Decollato, Perino's elegant frescoes in the Sala Paolina (1545-47), Castel Sant' Angelo, Giorgio Vasari's fantastic murals in the Palazzo Cancelleria (1546), and Francesco Salviati beautiful, secular frescoes in the Palazzo Ricci-Sacchetti (c. 1553-54). Attention will also be given to the art of the Counter-Reformation in Rome, and to painting and sculpture by Bronzino, Salviati, Cellini, Bandinellui, Vasari, Giambologna, and others a the Florentine courts of Dukes Cosimo I and Francesco I.
