In this course, the basic elements of art historical research and scientific writing will be treated. Students will approach Byzantine art of the Macedonian (867-1056) and the Palaiologan (1261-1453) period by preparing short oral presentations on specific works of art. The presentations will serve as the basis of the final written paper on the individual subjects. We will approach the art of the Byzantine empire by methods of iconography and form analysis which will help us understand their meaning and give us a clue to their chronology.
