Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The seminar will focus on various medieval cycles inspired by the Revelation of St John: from the Spanish manuscripts of the commentaries of Beatus of Liebana to the Apocalypse of Bamberg, the frescoes of Karlstein, the tapestries of Angers, the Apocalypse of Cloisters and Dürer's work on this theme. Each participant will be given a selected sub-theme of Revelation and will then compare the different visual versions of the theme. On this basis, a theoretical discussion will then be developed on the relationship between different aspects of contemporary visuality and the iconographic tradition.
