I think my favorite thing in art history is watching the extensive innovation of visual arts over time. Greco-roman art and architecture is beautiful and matched their definition of perfection, but I adore how they learned then expanded upon for new ideas and purposes.
lol I would love a Chibi Constantine! Just to let you know, Professor, Japan have many Manga dedicated to Roman history (although most of them arent translated). There's Comedy manga name Thermae Romae that features a Roman Bathhouse Architect who time traveled to Modern Japan and bring back ideas. While it's a funny manga, it's full of historical detail and it set during Hadrian's era (which he is featured in) The mangaka herself is a Roman enthusiast, married and living in Italy .
It is an example of a rare occurance in art history world when you can laugh your ass off :)))) I almost fell of my chair after hearing that Calixtus Catacombes would serve great as a Dungeons and Dragons map :D
Is it really so that right off there is a movement towards round buildings in the East and Basilicas in the West? Isn't so that the first churches in Constantinople were basilicas? Isn't it rather that only after a while with the development of the cross-in-a-circle church that the East goes on another path (Kreuzkuppelkirche)?
Man... all this knowledge... for free... I can't thank you enough for this
thank you for sharing all of these lectures
You're very welcome! It's nice to see people enjoy them outside of my students.
Yes! Thank you so much! 🙏

Thank you for this. I've been sick for weeks and missed a lot of my Art History class and these are extremely helpful.

constantines mother was playing the religious long game lmao
Just to note: Cumbaya is a Christian song. I think it’s from the Gullah people of the SE US.
what were paganism called before christians creating the term "paganism"? just "religions"?
Paganism is a catch all term, it includes every single person who worships gods that aren't the Triune Christian God (Jews not included)
“Pius”.
Are these sheep or horses...at the theophany!?
