Abstract
This course will examine the visual arts in Europe during the period normally known as the Middle Ages (or Medieval period). It stretches from the reign of Constantine in the 4th century to the outbreak of the Black Death in 1348 (or from the end of the classical period to the beginning of the Renaissance). The course will also focus on the art emanating from the Byzantine east. During this era, Europe saw strikingly new and original artistic forms, both in a secular context and art related to the increasingly influential Christian church. Topics covered will include issues of aesthetics, iconography, style, functionality, and spirituality.
