Snyder also contains all the images you are responsible for learning for quizzes. The assigned readings in Snyder cover the basic facts about the major works of late medieval art on which the class is based. I have assigned a variety of readings to supplement the textbook.
Several texts are contemporary to the works of art at hand.
Others are important articles or chapters of books which expand upon issues discussed in class. In addition to being valuable studies in their own right, these articles exemplify many different approaches to art history, from stylistic analysis, to iconographic studies, to broader contextual interpretations. All Biblical readings should be done from the Douay-Rheims Bible, which is the English translation closest to Jerome's Latin translation, the Vulgate, which was used throughout the Middle Ages. For several lectures, I have given a looking assignment, a richly-illustrated book you should flip through casually to get a feel for the breadth and variety of northern Renaissance art. Each quiz will last approximately 20 minutes.
