Как и в прошлом году, на память, выложу все темы эссе, над которыми мне посчастливилось работать в этом учебном году. Признаюсь, все были мне в радость и стали "родными". Спасибо институту, что всегда позволял выбирать то, что интересно именно мне.

Classical and Byzantine Art
Antony Eastmond

ICON OF ST PETER, c. 1320 IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM

Dr Susie Nash

WHY DID DÜRER MAKE PRINTS?

Renaissance and Baroque Architecture
Dr Georgia Clarke

Compare the facades of Palazzo Rucellai, Florence and the Palazzo Corner della Ca Grande, Venice by Jacopo Sansovino. Using photographs, look carefully at the two buildings, and consider the following issues in your essay – it’s up to you in what order you discuss these issues: what situations were the architects dealing with in relation to these buildings? How did each architect use classical architecture language? What makes the facades different from each other? What factors do you think might have been important in their design?

Looking Beyond Western Art
Dr Peter Stewart, Dr Deborah Swallow, Prof. John House

15th Century Northern European Art in London Collections

ROGIER VAN DER WEYDEN “THE MAGDALEN READING” (before 1438)
Consider in how it was made, the materials used and the stages of its design and production. Consider how the patron, intended audience and function of the work influenced how it was made.
