The Art of the Middle and Late Byzantine Empire - learn Humanities
Best Humanities Course
The Gradual Return to the Natural World
Students will learn the key developments, vocabulary terms, and works of art which are associated with Byzantine art.
Students who have completed the preceding courses \""The Art of the Early Byzantine Empire\"" and \""Ancient Christian Art\"" will be able to appreciate some elements' continuity, but this course also can stand alone and provide a solid grounding in Middle and Late Byzantine art history.,This course looks at the arch of Byzantine art history spanning its Middle and Late periods. During that time, artworks were destroyed, banned, and reduced to non-human symbols for a short time under Iconoclasm, but ultimately, a resurgence of Classical and Hellenistic artistic sensibilities ushered in what is called the Macedonian Renaissance, which laid the groundwork for much of the Italian Renaissance which would occur a few centuries later. This course looks at Byzantine artworks as far removed as the sixth-century church of Sana'a, Yemen and as unusual as the moving throne and automata which appeared at the Constantinople court.,High school, university, and graduate students will find both a review of key pieces and developments as well as original research and connections which are exclusive to this course.,High school, university, and graduate students will find both a review of key pieces and developments as well as original research and connections which are exclusive to this course.
