AH 104 – SAINTS AND SINNERS IN ROME
‘Saints and Sinners’ introduces students to the iconography of the principal saints associated with the city of Rome from the early Christian martyrs to the key figures of the Counter Reformation.
The saints will be treated as both historical as well as religious figures within the context of the history of art. The course will explore the complex relationship between Classical iconography and Christian hagiography and mark how the images of saints change in response to both theological and political needs.
The course will be divided between classroom lectures and seminars and on-site visits.
This course satisfies the oral presentation requirement.
Students are responsible for all entry fees.
