| Course Description |
This course will examine aspects of medieval art from Charlemagne to the beginnings of Gothic (Chartres) in an historical context. The focus will be on choices of architectural design, style and iconography, materials and techniques of production, lay and ecclesiastical patronage, and regional influences. Areas of special study may include the Carolingian and Ottonian "renaissances", Romanesque architecture and the convergence of Christian and Islamic influences in Spain, Sicily and the Crusader States. Illuminated manuscripts, silver and ivories will receive as much attention as church architecture, frescoes and sculpture. |
