Greek and Roman Art and
Architecture
This lecture-only course is an introductory
survey of the development and major artistic
and technical achievements of Greek and
Roman architecture, sculpture and painting.
The course places art and architecture in its
social, political and cultural context. It explores
themes such as the representation of the
human form, the use of narrative and mythology
in art, and urbanisation, and it looks at the
works of individual artists. It traces the
development of architectural forms such as
temples, theatres and Roman baths with
attention to many of the iconic buildings and
sites of the ancient world, including the
Parthenon, Delphi and Olympia, the
Colosseum, the Pantheon and Pompeii.
