Welcome

The image itself is a form of communication par excellence. Since the dawn of time, man has used signs and symbols to communicate a specific message, from the simplest to the most complex, in moments of persecution or expansion.

It is in this sense that, in the context of Art History and Archaeology, the careful description and interpretation of artistic objects allows us to uncover something more than what is immediately apparent. For example, an image of a young man, with a lily in his hand, approaching a girl praying, is no longer just that, but an image of the Annunciation, in which the Angel Gabriel presents himself to Mary, telling her that she is pregnant with the Savior.

In this course, we will analyze the main episodes and their representations of Jesus and Mary.
