ARTS 411 - Art History without a License


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4HU

Art history is a modern discipline that did not exist in the ancient or medieval West. Despite the discipline’s absence, ancient and medieval people were passionate about old objects and buildings, asking questions we recognize as art historical: Who made that? How? What does it mean? We will study why people asked these questions and how they answered them. Our coverage will range from c. 0 to 1500, include major sites in Europe and the Mediterranean (i.e. Rome and Jerusalem), and consider Jewish, Christian and Muslim audiences. Careful and creative attention to primary sources will be emphasized. Field trip required.
