Each meeting of Art History III will focus on 5 or 6 works of architecture and fine arts, so that we can explore each one in depth. Learners will bring their travel, curiosity, and questions to this study group, thereby enriching it.

History of Art III emphasizes syncretism between older and newer artistic traditions, for example, the transition from pagan worship to Christianity in the second through fourth centuries CE in Italy. If time permits, we will look at early Islamic art and the syncretism that occurred when Islam spread to the Christian territories in the West.

This study group led by Molly Lindner will meet Tuesdays for six weeks beginning on January 19.

Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.
