Course title and contents
Architecture and figurative programmes in Rome and Byzantium (5th-13th century) The course includes 2 joined modules, equivalent to 12 CFU. The two modules will investigate significant episodes in the artistic production in the West and the East, highlighting similarities and differences in architectural types, decorative systems, concepts in theology and aesthetics from both areas. Therefore, both modules will be addressed, along with buildings, to mosaics, wall painting and icons from 5th to 12th centuries, investigating iconographic themes and systems, formal and stylistic structures, commissions in Rome, Constantinople, and other regions of the Byzantine empire. Visits to churches in Rome will be a core part of the programme. A list of study visits led by the teacher will be announced at the beginning of the course.
