Main themes

In order to achieve this end, - one or more important work of art (or group of works), mainly from the western culture and strongly influenced by biblical texts, will be analysed; - particular attention will be paid to the presence of biblical material in these works of art and to the way in which it is assumed and transformed.

Aims

At the end of this course, the student will be able to - appreciate the impact of biblical texts in one or more cultural fields (literature, plastic arts, music, e.g.); - perceive how these texts are dealt with by the artists and in what extend this treatment constitutes a form of exegesis.

Evaluation methods
