Roland Betancourt lectures on the art, architecture and visual theories of the Byzantine Empire (c. 330–1453)
Art historian Roland Betancourt illuminates the central role of images in Byzantine culture, focusing on how basic questions about images and their power in the medieval world can inform the ways in which images are thought about today. Covering the crucial years of the Byzantine Empire (roughly 330–1453), Betancourt looks at the art, architecture, and theories of visual culture in the medieval lands of the eastern Mediterranean and in modern-day Turkiye, Greece, Syria, and Russia.
