ART-HIST 479
From the Parthenon to the Altar of Peace
|
|
|
The course centers on the many different styles of Greek and Roman art from the fifth century B.C. to the early first century A.D. Attention is also paid to the political and literary forces behind its imagery. Three monuments serve as the pillars upon which the course rests: the Parthenon, Pergamon Altar, and the Ara Pacis. The lessons learned about style, the interaction of politics, literature, and art and the foibles of scholarship are intended to be applied to other fields of art history. Cross-listed with CLAS 479. Prerequisite: ART-HIST 301, CLAS 301 or permission of instructor
