HART408 Stained Glass: Histories, Contexts, Interpretations 3cr This advanced seminar in the history of art is an
in-depth exploration of the medium of stained
glass and its long life, from its medieval
origins to modern collecting, revival, and
conservation. Stained glass was an integral
component of
medieval religious buildings and remains an
object of fascination and interpretation in the
modern era. The class will take the greatest
possible
advantage of old and new stained glass in local
collections and churches to gain a first-hand
understanding of the medium. Course work includes
weekly reading, writing, and discussion of
current professional scholarship in the field,
and a
guided independent research project.
Prerequisites: HART-100 and any 200 or 300 level HART course.
