| The subject tries to encompass the different artistic traditions that converge in Europe and the Mediterranean from the first Christian Art until the year one thousand. We try to do this through five topics: Paleochristian Art; Byzantine Art until overcoming the iconoclast crisis; art of the Germanic invasions; art in the time of Carlomagno and art in the year one thousand. Given the difficulties in including cultures that are so different from each other in each topic, we will take as implicit a minimum introduction to the historical circumstances of these cultures, as well as their relationship with the Roman past, and we will study both the architectural and the figurative manifestations, paying special attention to the Miniature and Applied Arts. |
