Learning objectives
The purpose of this course is to discuss and analyze a critical theme relevant to the history of medieval art in order to consolidate the methodological bases and knowledge of the historical/critical presuppositions, with special emphasis on the works themselves in their spatial, historic and cultural context. The syllabus, as well as the skills and expertise that will be gained in this course, are characteristic features of the studies involved in the interuniversity Art degree program.

Program
The teaching of History of Medieval Art of the master's course has a monographic nature; the specific theme changes every year, but the goal is always to critically investigate complex topics of medieval artistic culture relating to the Italian and European area. For 2022-2023 the theme concerns court art between the end of the fourteenth and the first half of the fifteenth century. Specific attention will be dedicated to Pisanello, in relation to the exhibition which, between October 2022 and January 2023, will be open in Mantua on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the rediscovery of the chivalric cycle in the Palazzo Ducale. The program, the bibliography and other communications will be available from the beginning of the course (24 October 2022) on the e-learning / moodle site. All students, attending and non-attending, must therefore register on the university's IT platform in order to access the course and take the exam. Unless otherwise indicated, the study texts will be provided in digital form on the Moodle platform or deposited at the copy shop Trenta e Oltre (via Timavo 16).
