Art of the Medieval World

Explore the art and architecture of the medieval period in this third course of our nine-part Art Through the Ages series.

From meticulous illuminated manuscripts to soaring Gothic cathedrals, this course will introduce students to the visual language of medieval monuments, paintings, sculptures, mosaics, and manuscripts. Topics will include the art and architecture of the Early Christian, Byzantine, Islamic, Romanesque, and Gothic periods.

By reconstructing the physical, geographical, sociological, and historical context in which the works were created, this Art History course aims to bring medieval art to life.
