Class Details
This seminar will explore the appearance and use of icons, the sacred images of the early Christian church, between the first century and the eighth century. Materials include panel paintings, ivories and mosaics. The aim of the inquiry is to examine the surviving corpus of icons, consider how they functioned and the ways in which the artists who created them manipulated such formal elements as line, color and composition to create an image of the sacred.
