Note:
The course introduces the various modes of depicting Christian religious subject matter from the first origins in the Roman Empire to the height of Gothic spirituality and the rebirth of city life in Europe. Focus of interpretation is on the relationship of changing modes of depicting Christian subject matter to changes in economic, political, socio- cultural and theological conditions of art patronage and production. The skills you will be cultivating apply to similar issues in the arts of many cultures.
