often been characterized as the first truly modern art.

In addition, the course will explore the relationship of works of art and architecture erected in the city of Rome to those in the provinces, the interaction of public and official art to domestic art, as well as the impact of art commissioned by imperial and elite patrons on that commissioned by non-elite patrons.

Crosslisted with AFS 389

Kasfir -------------------- MWF 10:40 - 11:30 AM ------------------------ Max: 25

In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, all of these societies have been colonized by European or Anglo-American conquerors who have altered traditional power relationships and have introduced missionary forms of Christianity, thereby transforming the position and importance of the sacred arts as well as those connected with political authority and warfare.
