This course introduces students to the art of the ancient world from the Bronze Age to the 5th century AD. It includes the artistic environment of the Bronze Age cultures in the Mediterranean (Aegean and Mycenaean cultures), architecture and art of the Etruscans, ancient Greece, and Rome. The classical narrative of the formation of European art will be confronted with more recent findings from archaeology, cultural history and cultural anthropology. The course will include readings of selected texts by ancient authors and their reflection in the history of art culture and in iconography and a reflection on ancient traditions in later eras.
