ARTH 1150
FWS: Art and Patronage in Medieval Sicily and Southern Italy

Course information provided by the 2014-2015 Catalog.

The Cathedral of Palermo (built 1185) has a complex history, built on the site of the Great Mosque, which reused elements of a former Byzantine church. Recycling and layering will present two large themes in this course on Italian art, a category not easily defined. Focusing on medieval art in southern Italy and the island of Sicily, we will investigate a variety of material productions as a means of understanding the construction of kingdoms, communes, and religious authority in selected Mediterranean cities. Students will gain a general understanding of Western European art and acquire a broad set of tools with which to analyze texts and objects. Readings will touch aspects of other disciplines, such as Gender Studies, Archaeology, and Romance Studies.
