ARH.2024 Survey of Irish Art
This course will provide an overview of Irish art from the Neolithic era to the present day. Particular emphasis will be placed on the golden age of Irish art in the early middle ages and on developments during the Georgian era in the 18th century. Architecture, sculpture, metalwork, manuscripts and paintings will be examined within the context of the various influences on the Irish culture and the development of a national identity. Two slide exams and a short research paper will constitute the means of evaluation.
