Beginning with art from the reign of Emperor Constantine (312-337), students will study major works of early Christian art and architecture in Constantinople and Rome, as well as in the Byzantine capitals Milan and Ravenna from c. 312-726. They will explore the different attitudes to iconoclasm in the East and in Rome before analysing Byzantine art and architecture in centres such as Hosios Lukas, Daphni and Nea Moni. They will also consider the transformation of Byzantine art in medieval Italy, in Rome, Venice and Sicily.
