ARTH 540
Iconography: Latin Middle Ages
Dr. Watson
Course Description

You might call this course 'Who's Who.'  Our concern is who is who in the imagery of the Latin Middle Ages, what they did, and how we tell who
is who. So we shall be looking at a vast array, from God the Father to San Bernardino of Siena, and at events from the Creation to the
Apocalypse as these figure in the visual arts.  We shall also explore ways to look up these people, places and things, how to put that training
to good use in dealing with objects from the PMA and other places, and ways to pass this on to your students . . . And when you think about it,
what we learn about medieval imagery also applies to the art of the Renaissance, the Baroque and, here and there, later art as well.
