Learning objectives

The course in History of Artistic and Material Culture in the Middle Ages (m) aims to prepare students: to acquire complete knowledge of specific material and content aspects of artistic production in the Middle Ages; to have full competence in the most advanced methodological tools relating to art-historical research; to increase the capacity of critical analysis, in order to be able to conduct research independently. At the end of the course, students will be able to: identify, read, understand and autonomously evaluate the characteristics of medieval works of art and artistic movements; recognize the material and iconographic aspects that characterize medieval artistic phenomena; identify local cultural components in works of art, as well as those coming from distant places; investigate and interpret the artistic experiences developed between the 4th and 13th centuries, with a scientific method; understand the ways in which different cultural areas interacted to create a specific artistic phenomenon.

Prerequisites and basic notions

There are no prerequisites for attending the course.

Program

>Topics
The course focuses on circumscribed topics related to the artistic production of the Western Middle Ages and its possible relations to the Eastern Middle Ages. Sculpture and architecture are primarily examined.
The main topics covered in the lectures focus on:
- the identification of homogeneous cultural movements in the Middle Ages;
- the identification of cultural relations between neighbouring areas and between distant areas, but in reciprocal historical and artistic relations;
- the evaluation of artistic techniques and architectural methodologies.
>Bibliography
Course material (syllabus, lectures, bibliography, important communications, etc.) will be adequately treated and publicised 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.
