Cíle předmětu
The course offers an overview of Roman art, from its founding to the fourth century CE. Artistic production is placed against a complex background as its socio-political and religious implications are discussed. The course thus functions as both an introduction to the history and culture of Rome, and as a detailed analysis of Roman art. The birth of the concept of art, the role art played in the construction of an imperial identity, and the methodological problems posed by the study of the artistic production of historic societies will be discussed.
