Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Part I provides an introductory overview of the development of Byzantine art from late antiquity to the middle of the 15th century. In the six teaching units, the focus is initially on central aspects of the emergence of Christian art within the formal canon of antiquity, then the debate about the venerability of images is discussed. With the establishing of images in the sacred space, a canon of images solidified, which also had a formative influence on the Christian neighbouring countries of the Byzantine Empire. In the last centuries of the Byzantine Empire, an ethnic diversification in the creation of art can be observed, which ensures the survival of Byzantine art even after the end of the Byzantine Empire. A teaching unit is devoted to both phenomena.
Part II similarly provides an overview of art in Latin Europe.

The examination of the topics and works addressed in the VO is deepened through mandatory reading. Students should also acquire knowledge of the most important art monuments through self-study using handbooks (Propyläen Kunstgeschichte).
