"This course is a survey of the major monuments of painting, architecture, sculpture and minor arts made between the 3rd and 15th century for major patrons in the nation states, the Christian church, and other religious groups in Europe. Students learn to recognize, understand, and write about the major techniques, stylistic developments, and iconographic themes, of art and the major structural and aesthetic development in architecture.
Lectures focus on demonstrating the evolution of style across time and on the characteristics of particular historical periods and geographical eras in Europe."
