Course details
This course will introduce students to how Christian faith has found expression in the history of art. It will thus provide an introduction to the growing field of theology and the arts. The focus will be on major art-historical epochs and relevant Christian themes in art, including the Renaissance, baroque, romanticism and modern art. The role of the imagination in religion and art will be reflected upon and the role of the artist in society and their relationship with the church will be discussed. It will also include a session whereby students will share and discuss their favourite works of art from a theological angle.
