Course Objective

With the advent of Christianity in the Late Antique period, there has been important changes and transformations in art and architecture. The new spaces that the new religion needs and the new iconography changed Late Antique art dramatically. This course, while exploring the new developments, will also analyse the continuities. Buildings and objects will be studied in their regional contexts and the local and imperial features of this art will be determined. We shall also focus on the art and architecture of Sasanians, Western Roman Empire and other Eastern Christians. The chronological limit of Late Antiquity is usually extended until the Abbasid revolution. This course will also determine the classical features of the Early Islamic period.
