Title: Architecture as Icon
Description: This seminar will explore the central subject of an exhibition to be shown at the Princeton University Art Museum this spring, "Architecture as Icon: Perception and Representation of Architecture in Byzantine Art", a previously unexplored topic in scholarship. Students will engage in investigation of themes intimately related to the main subject, such as: artistic conventions regarding rendering of three-dimensional forms and space; the meaning of symbols in architecture; and the meaning and function of two-dimensionality in Byzantine art. All themes will be investigated in direct relationship to the objects in the exhibition.
