Description
SEMINAR: HEAVEN AND EARTH: THE ART OF BYZANTIUM
This course will cover the Art of Byzantium, from its beginnings in the court of Constantine until the invasion of the Turks in the mid-fifteenth century: church architecture and mosaic decoration, sculpture, and liturgical arts. Objects featured in the National Gallery of Art exhibition (6 Oct, 2013 – 2 March, 2014) will be central to the discussion of the development of these Byzantine art forms. A trip to the exhibition will be mandatory.
