ADAH 364 - LATE ANTIQUE & EARLY CHRISTIAN ART


Credits: Three
This course surveys the art and architecture produced during the late Roman period through the early Christian period. This time span witnessed political and religious transitions as the world of pagan Rome gave way to that of early Christianity. The material presented in this course examines the development of art and architecture throughout this transitional period. Students will examine the role of pagan art in the construction of Christian iconography, the development of early Christian sacred space, and the continued influence of Roman culture and images through the Carolingian period. Readings and museum visits will supplement slide lectures and provide a point of departure for in-class discussion.
