Description
This course introduces students to the extraordinary richness and breadth of artistic achievement in Byzantium. Representative examples of Byzantine art and architecture will be examined on multiple levels: aesthetic, historical, religious, and social. The course will approach these forms of artistic expression in an integrated manner, in keeping with the Byzantine view that they are inextricably linked and equally worthy manifestations of the relationship between the human and the divine.
