This 'History of Art - Heaven, Hell and Damnation in Medieval Art' course in Maidstone will enable you to see how medieval art depicted the rewards of the blessed and how illustrations of funerals, demons, and the punishment of the wicked were used to induce repentance for sin. We will study medieval images that reflect imagined travels to the netherworld and attempt to map what awaited humankind beyond this earthly existence. We will see how the Book of Revelation was used to develop a range of apocalyptic iconography used in paintings and sculptures to warn unrepentant sinners of the horrors that awaited them. By the end of this course you will be able to: Identify three elements of apocalyptic art, Evaluate the impact of the Book of Revelation on the visual arts before 1600, Describe the features of a medieval Doom painting, Compare and contrast the development of Last Judgment paintings by various artists including van der Weyden, Bosch and Michelangelo, Recommended Reading, You will be encouraged to engage in background reading which will enhance your learning experience and a course book with suggested reading will be provided at the first session. Occasionally there will be homework reading in the form of an article provided which will encourage debate in class. If you wish to read before the course begins, there is no specific book I would advise purchasing but most medieval art books will have a section on apocalyptic art.
