Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course discusses selected works of art and architecture commissioned at the English royal court in the period between the reign of Henry III (1216-1272) to the age of Richard II (1377-1399). It focuses on a vibrant phase in the production of English art of the Middle ages, when major royal building operations completely transformed Westminster Abbey and Palace to mark it as a centre of the realm. The proseminar will analyse the building projects in London and Windsor and study illuminated manuscripts, murals and panel paintings, asking for the intentions of the patrons and the original function of the objects commissioned. Further, questions relating to the representation of power and royalty, memorial strategies and the notion of a court culture will be adressed. Finally, the English commissions are placed within a European context to interpret them in the light of the dynastic connections and the political ambitions of the Plantagenet family.
Assessment and permitted materials
Regular attendance in class and tutorial and contributions in group discussions, presentation, final essay.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The aim of the course is to provide a good understanding of how works of art are analysed and discussed by scholarship and how art historical questions are developed and explored. By the end of this course students will have a detailed knowledge of key works of art produced in England in the 13th and 14th centuries and will be familiar with current directions and methods in the field of medieval art history.
Examination topics
After a short introduction-lecture, participants will give presentations in class and contribute in group discussions.
