L-ART/01 - HISTORY OF MEDIEVAL ART
Period

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.
Prerequisites and basic notions
The general and specific knowledge deriving from having taken the Medieval Art History exam in the three-year degree course and the general and specific skills acquired with it. If this is not the case, please contact the teacher.
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).
Didactic methods
Lessons will be held in person. Attendance, although not compulsory, is recommended. Students who attend classes in presence are considered to be attending. The lectures will be held using powerpoints, which will then be made available in pdf on Moodle. There will be educational visits to the Pisanello exhibition in Mantua, to Pisanello's works in Verona and, if possible, an outing in Pavia. A seminar activity will be organized on the basis of the number of students.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam is oral and focuses on the texts indicated at the beginning of the course and, for those attending, also on the lecture notes. During the interview, constant reference will be made to images.
Evaluation criteria
The test consists of an interview aimed at verifying: - the depth and breadth of the acquired knowledge and the ability to explain it clearly - the analytical and argumentative ability - the ability to systematically connect knowledge - the autonomy of judgment .
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final grade is expressed out of thirty.

Double degree
The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.
Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.
The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
