Learning objectives

The course in History of Byzantine Art (m) aims to prepare students: to analyze the main artistic expressions of the Byzantine civilization from the foundation of Constantinople to the fall of the Eastern Empire (330-1453); to evaluate the technical-artistic aspects of the main works of art in the Byzantine context; to evaluate Eastern and Western artistic phenomena using a comparative method; to identify the intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics of the works of art produced in the Byzantine koinè. At the end of the course, students will be able to: understand the aspects that distinguish the art of the Christian East, both in the capital and in the peripheral regions; recognize the main components of Byzantine works of art; distinguish the historical moments of the production of artefacts in the Eastern environment; draw connections between Eastern and Western art.

Prerequisites and basic notions

There are no prerequisites for attending the course.

Program

>Topics
The artistic heritage of the Byzantine context will be investigated following a fluid scansion by periods, in which the intrinsic characteristics of the languages make it possible to trace homogeneous areas. Particular emphasis is given to the artistic testimonies of the capital Constantinople.
The course is structured according to a temporal perspective:
- the early Byzantine era, from the Constantinian foundation of the capital of the East to the Justinian renaissance;
- the so-called Golden Age of Justinian I;
- the age of iconoclasm;
- the Middle Byzantine era, from the Macedonian renaissance to the Comnenian phase;
- the late Byzantine era, from the conquest of Constantinople to the Palaeologians.
For a correct understanding of Eastern artistic phenomena, the study takes into consideration works executed in the main artistic techniques, trying to identify the peculiar characteristics from a material, iconographic, historical and formal point of view.
>Bibliography
Course material (syllabus, lectures, bibliography, important communications, etc.) will be adequately treated and publicized on the e-learning/moodle site. All students, attending and non-attending, must therefore register on the university's platform in order to access the course and take the examination.
Bibliographic materials will be made available at:

The duration of the examination is directly proportional to the student's performance and in any case consists of a minimum of 10 minutes and a maximum of 40/50 minutes of discussion with the examiner.

Evaluation criteria

The examination covers the topics addressed in the lecture as well as those discussed in the course-specific bibliography.
In addition to the notional knowledge, it will also be evaluated the way of weaving relations between the specific topics of the course, of organizing specific knowledge, of using specific and adequate vocabulary, of comparing episodes with similar chronology and techniques.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The evaluation will be expressed in thirtieths.
