Erasmus+ Cliche Inventory for Byzantine paintingVivi Carouzou
Byzantine painting, also known as iconography, is an ancient artistic tradition from Orthodox Christian countries. It uses symbolic imagery and strict compositional rules to depict religious figures and bridge the natural and spiritual worlds. Key characteristics include portraying saints without smiles or secular expressions on a golden background to represent the transcendental. The art is transmitted through church art schools and influences include ancient Greek, Eastern, Hellenistic, and Greco-Roman styles. While there are no current threats, influences from Western painting techniques could impact the tradition.
The document summarizes an interview with a Byzantine art professor about the evolution and characteristics of Byzantine painting (iconography). It discusses four main stages of evolution: 1) Early Christian art until Emperor Justinian, 2) Justinian to the fall of Constantinople, 3) post-Byzantine until the 1821 revolution, and 4) from 1821 to today. It also describes how Byzantine painting was closely tied to the Orthodox Church for teaching religious concepts, commemorating historical events, and gaining political/financial support from aristocratic sponsors. Key differences from Western painting include Byzantine art being less naturalistic/anthropocentric and aiming to serve as a mediator between viewers and religious figures rather than simply being admired
The document summarizes Byzantine art from the Byzantine Empire between the 4th and 15th centuries. Some key points:
- Byzantine art was influenced by both classical Roman art and Eastern influences, taking on a more abstract, symbolic style compared to classical naturalism.
- Major art forms included mosaics, like those in Hagia Sophia; illuminated manuscripts; and icons which were venerated religious images.
- Wealth was concentrated in the church and imperial court, who commissioned most large art works on religious and imperial themes.
- Smaller arts like ivory carving and enamel work were also important luxury goods exported throughout Europe and the Mediterranean.
Byzantine art developed in the Byzantine Empire centered in Constantinople from the 4th century AD until the fall of Constantinople in 1453. It was focused on creating religious icons and decorating churches. Stylistically, Byzantine art was less focused on naturalism and more interested in mystical spiritual themes depicted through flat, two-dimensional figures. The three periods of Byzantine art - Early, Middle, and Late - saw the development and spread of distinctive architectural and artistic styles through the Byzantine Empire and areas under its cultural influence like Kievan Rus and Russia.
This document discusses the development of Byzantine art from its origins in Roman imperial art. It notes that Byzantine art was influenced by classical Greek and Roman styles but developed its own distinctive "abstract" or symbolic aesthetic over time. Scholars have debated the causes and nature of this shift from naturalism to a more conceptual approach. The document outlines the major periods and genres of Byzantine art, including the proliferation of religious icons and illuminated manuscripts, as well as debates around the use of images during the iconoclastic period.
Gothic style originated in France in the 12th century and spread across Europe. It gradually replaced Romanesque style over several years as Gothic cathedrals and buildings were constructed. Gothic architecture used pointed arches, ribbed vaulting, flying buttresses, and large windows to allow more light inside. Decorative elements like stained glass, sculptures, and gargoyles adorned the exteriors and interiors. Gothic art saw a shift to more realistic and expressive figures in sculptures and paintings.
The document summarizes Romanesque art from 1000-1200 AD and provides context for its origins and decline after the fall of Rome. It describes typical Romanesque architectural structures like churches, castles, and monasteries. It then highlights some notable Romanesque artworks including sculptures from cathedrals and metalworks. Gothic art developed in France out of Romanesque art in the mid-12th century, spreading to other media. Key Gothic artworks included sculptures from Chartres Cathedral and frescoes by Simone Martini.
The document provides a brief history of art styles from ancient Egypt through Cubism. It notes key characteristics of each style such as Egyptian art featuring two-dimensional bodies with stylized proportions. Ancient Greek art emphasized weight shift and curved lines while Ancient Roman art promoted power and realistic depictions. Medieval art was influenced by Christianity and transitioned from two-dimensional to three-dimensional paintings. The Renaissance featured apostles depicted as real people and developed linear perspective. Baroque art emphasized light, shadow, and theatrical effects. Neoclassicism drew inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman styles. Romantic art aimed to evoke feelings through heightened drama. Impressionism used short, thick brushstrokes and emphasized natural light. Post-Impression

Regional variations emerged, with Italy retaining timber roofs and England and Normandy experimenting with ribbed vaults.
History of western art (Giotto, Masaccio)Annie Najib
Early Renaissance is the era which heralded the age of exploration. Digging into the Golden ages of Greek past civilization, this period added its own interpretation to art as well all other fields that went parallel to it. Early Renaissance provided the first steps towards the high mountain peak of the Renaissance period. Bridging the past values and rich culture of Greece to the neo classical period.
Giotto is propably the first artist to have embraced the change which was needed in art. That's why he is considered to be a "father of Western pictorial art".
Christianity was the dominant influence on medieval art and architecture in Europe. Works of art depicted biblical scenes from the life of Christ as described in the New Testament. Church architecture evolved from Romanesque styles with rounded arches and few windows to Gothic styles with pointed arches, ribbed vaulting, flying buttresses, and large stained glass windows to let in more light. These cathedrals served as sites of pilgrimage and reflected the rise of Christianity in medieval Europe.
The document provides an overview of art in the Middle Ages, beginning with Late Antique art from the Roman era characterized by simple, streamlined designs that emphasized religious aspects over proportions and details. Byzantine art that followed was heavily influenced by Greek, Eastern, and Persian traditions and featured iconic representations of figures like the Virgin Mary. Architectural influences included domes, marble, and sculpted capitals. Romanesque art from 1000-1300 AD featured rounded arches, stone vaults, thick walls, and exterior relief sculptures in cathedrals and churches. Gothic art that followed was characterized mainly by architecture using mathematical harmony and light through pointed arches and stained glass in great cathedrals like Notre Dame of Paris and Reims Cathedral

The document discusses Michelangelo Buonarroti, one of the most famous artists of the Italian Renaissance. It describes some of his most famous works, including the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel which he painted between 1508-1512. The ceiling depicts nine stories from Genesis and features over 300 figures. It also discusses Michelangelo's specialty in painting the human body, and how he would dissect corpses to better understand human anatomy.
Here is a comparison of Michelangelo's David and Bernini's David sculptures:
Michelangelo's David (created 1501-1504) exemplifies Renaissance ideals of idealized human form and proportions. Carved from a single block of marble, David is depicted as a perfectly symmetrical nude figure, emphasizing mathematical order and geometry.
In contrast, Bernini's David (created 1623-1624) represents the Baroque style's preference for dramatic movement and emotion. Rather than idealized form, Bernini depicted the biblical moment before David's battle with Goliath. His David has an arched back and leaning stance, capturing the youth's anticipation. Bernini also used multiple pieces of marble rather than a single block
This document provides an overview of major art movements throughout history, beginning with prehistoric art and continuing through modern movements such as Pop Art and Assemblage. Key periods and styles discussed include Ancient Greek and Roman art, Renaissance art, Baroque, Impressionism, Surrealism, Cubism, and Abstract Expressionism. Critical characteristics and examples are given for each movement.
Comparing Gothic Art To Renaissance ArtDiana Turner
The document compares and contrasts Gothic and Renaissance art. Gothic art from the 12th-15th centuries focused primarily on Christian religious subjects and imagery. Renaissance art from the 14th-17th centuries expanded subject matter to include secular themes from mythology and portraits of rulers. Gothic architecture emphasized vertical lines and flying buttresses to support large walls and windows for stained glass. Renaissance architecture incorporated more classical Roman styles and circular forms, and placed greater emphasis on figures and naturalism over vertical design.
The presentation talks about Art during the Renaissance Period. It includes background of Art during this time, the famous artists and some of their works.

Painting has taken many forms throughout history and across cultures. Some key points are that painting has been used for both spiritual motifs as well as more secular genres like portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. A variety of techniques have been used including fresco, tempera, oil painting, and others. Cave paintings dating back tens of thousands of years show some of the earliest examples of painting. The Renaissance saw developments in techniques like linear perspective and increased realism. Modernism in painting emerged in the late 19th century and emphasized new approaches that broke from traditions of realism.
Renaissance architecture and art flourished in 15th-17th century Europe as interest grew in ancient Greek and Roman achievements. This Renaissance began in Italian city-states like Florence and Venice, which became wealthy centers of trade. Artists celebrated the human individual rather than focusing solely on religion, as seen in Michelangelo's sculptures of David and Pietà and Leonardo da Vinci's realistic paintings including the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.

We study art to understand creative human expression throughout history. Art provides insights into past cultures, including their gods, beliefs, and ways of life. It also reflects universal human themes that persist across different times and places.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
