Course contents :

| Academic year 2014-2015:
"Romanesque and Gothic abbeys in the Kingdom of France and in the Holy German Roman Empire"
Architecture, sculpture and wall painting underwent a remarkable boom during the Romanesque period on the construction sites of vast and numerous abbeys. It is however seldom underlined that the boom continued during the Gothic period, all the more since new orders were being created and imprinting their specificities onto their buildings.
We will at first make ourselves familiar with the Western monastic world through the study of their founding texts, their main figures and their ruling principles - the lessons of the seminar will then consist primarily of virtual visits of selected monastery complexes, from Castilla to Pomerania, from Irland to the Czech Republic.
An excursion to the ruins of Villers-la-Ville (13th. Century) as well as a 4-day-trip to Germany (Rheingau) will be organised. |
