CLASS 4711
Traveling Seminar: Greek Sculpture in Context

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

Students will explore sculpture that was commissioned and displayed in mainland Greece between the Archaic and Imperial periods, with a focus on the city of Athens and the panhellenic sanctuaries of Delphi and Olympia. We will examine architectural sculpture, tombs, votive dedications, and civic monuments, with a focus on the relationship between these objects and the religious, political, and funerary contexts in which they were displayed, informed by close visual analysis. The course will be followed by a trip to Greece during Spring Break, when we will visit many of the sites covered during the semester, as well as major collections of sculpture in local museums. Students will give presentations on site in preparation for an extended research paper.

When Offered Spring.
