This is an advanced, seminar-based, course with alternate modules on early and medieval China and late imperial China. The paper engages students in an in-depth study of the central socio-religious, philosophical, and socio-economic paradigms that shaped early and dynastic Chinese society. Students are asked to work with key primary sources of the period concerned and examine related secondary scholarship. The paper seeks to identify the origins of ideas, social practices, and institutions that have permeated traditional Chinese society and have shaped the Chinese tradition up to the present day. Thematic rubrics explored in this paper may vary and cover topics such as cosmology and correlative thought, the Confucian classics, the Buddhist and the Daoist traditions, sacrificial religion, food culture, ritual and law, perceptions of the body and medicine, writing and print culture, agriculture and mercantile culture, urban and local culture.
This paper will consist of ten essay questions of which candidates will be required to answer three.
The Taiping Rebellion, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894–95, the Allied Invasion of 1900, the warlord wars of the 1910 and 1920s, the War of Resistance against Japan from 1931 to 1945, the Chinese-Communist Civil War of 1945 to 1946, and the Korean War from 1950 to 1953 all have impacted on China’s historical development in modern times. This course will examine these wars themselves, but will focus on their cultural, social, and political effects. It will also analyse their impact on dominant ideas Chinese have about themselves, their relations with other countries, and their position in the world.
This paper consists of ten questions of which candidates will be required to answer three.
This course is designed to acquaint students with the nature and workings of the Chinese language and to help them establish a linguistic framework for the description and analysis of Chinese.

The Faculty Board of Architecture and History of Art give notice of the special subjects for the History of Art Tripos, 2014–15. The Board shall have the power of subsequently issuing amendments if they have due reason for doing so, and if they are satisfied that no student’s preparation for the examination is adversely affected (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 346, Regulation 11(b)).
The period of transition from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages has traditionally been labelled as ‘the Dark Ages’. Far from a gloomy picture of decline, more recent studies have stressed how we can actually perceive dynamic transformations and innovations of great relevance to today’s changing times. This special subject explores as a case-study the reception of the Roman heritage in Anglo-Saxon England with the momentous changes that the advent of a new religion and social values brought with them. This artistic period will be studied in a wide context, and consider contacts with immediate neighbours in the Insular world (the Irish and the Picts – and the ‘local’ Romano-British), those on the Continent, and with the Mediterranean and Islamic world. Questions of continuity and change, patronage and experiment, the relationship between a text-based religion and images, travel, and the migration of ideas and sources will be investigated using a wealth of material: manuscripts, sculpture, metalwork, and architecture as well as the coinage of the time.
This special subject examines the exceptionally fertile period of French medieval art and architecture between the era of monastic reform and the end of the building boom at the end of the 13th century. Starting with Romanesque art in such areas as Normandy and Burgundy, it will examine the major sources of art comment in the 12th century including the writings of St Bernard and Abbot Suger. The Parisian art milieu c. 1150, including Saint-Denis, will act as a springboard to further consideration of the development of Gothic architecture in northern and eastern France (Notre-Dame, Paris, Laon, Soissons, Chartres, Bourges, etc.). Developments in metalwork and portal sculpture will be considered, and also illumination. High Gothic (Reims, Amiens) will follow, with consideration of the portfolio of Villard d’Honnecourt. The Parisian milieu will then be returned to with examination of Gothic architecture and ‘scholasticism’, the Sainte-Chapelle and Court art under Louis IX, and the emergence of Rayonnant. Issues for discussion will include Gothic sculpture, theology and ‘moralitas’, the reception of French art and architecture in Western Europe more generally, and the loss of authority of French architecture to the geographical ‘margins’ from 1300.
The reigns of Elizabeth I and James I saw an unprecedented flourishing of the visual arts in England. In this era of political and religious instability, English artists and patrons experimented with new forms and motifs, forging a unique and idiosyncratic style. Yet this was an art full of contradictions: it revelled in a revived medieval chivalry while grappling enthusiastically with classicism, celebrated grandeur in the country house and royal portrait while embracing the intimacy of the portrait miniature. This special subject will examine the tensions and pluralism of English art c. 1550–1625, paying close attention to the social and cultural contexts that framed and shaped it. We will study panel painting and limning, architecture, sculpture, printmaking, the luxury arts, and the court masque alongside the period developments in literature and theatre with which they were imbricated. The complexities and significance of gender (particularly under Elizabeth), religious confession, and courtly self-fashioning for the arts will be addressed. Throughout, English art’s relationship to continental models – at the time and in subsequent historiography – will be critically assessed, as will its connection to the idea of Renaissance.
Fifteenth-century Florence remains the locus classicus for Renaissance studies. The invention of pictorial perspective, Brunelleschi’s dome, the patronage of the Medici, Botticelli’s mythologies, and Michelangelo’s David are central to popular preconceptions of Renaissance art. But scholarship on Quattrocento Florence has comprehensively challenged Vasari’s model of artistic progress, emphasizing artworks within their social and political contexts. Florence has become a historical laboratory for a wide spectrum of approaches, from Michael Baxandall’s still seminal ‘Period Eye’ to anthropology and material culture. The Anglophone bibliography is significantly richer than for any other centre. This special subject exploits this extensive literature and reflects its diversity, combining the biographical treatment of key artists with thematic and contextual lectures. It addresses the totality of Florentine urban fabric and visual culture: not only painting, architecture and sculpture, but also furniture, goldsmith’s work, and print. It presents students with competing explanations of artistic change and a range of different perspectives (artists, patrons, a broader Florentine public).
This course will cover the history of the Surrealist movement from its birth in Paris in 1924 to the dissolution of ‘historical Surrealism’ in 1969. It will focus on the developments of Surrealism during this fascinating period of French history and explore its revolutionary role in art, literature, and politics in France in the inter- and post-war years: from its birth in the aftermath of World War I, to its engagement with Marxism and psychoanalysis in the 1930s, to its exile in New York during World War II, to its post-war international exhibitions. Students will be encouraged to examine Surrealist art from a number of thematic perspectives – including desire, mythology, occultism, and utopianism, and to generally consider the relationship between Surrealist art and politics (gender, racial, and national) so that its successes and failures, and its legacy today, can be critically assessed.
From the reign of Peter the Great (1682–1725), artistic practice in Russia underwent a period of remarkably accelerated development, complementing the long-standing tradition of icon painting with a wealth of experimentation in secular art. At the same time, the country acquired art collections of international repute, thanks to the activities of patrons as ambitious as Catherine the Great. This course examines the vibrant visual culture which resulted, from the imposing portraits of the eighteenth-century court, to the iconoclastic antics of the pre-Revolutionary avant-garde. By focusing both on painters unfamiliar in the West and on works as canonical as Malevich’s Black Square, the course will challenge standard interpretations of the modernist mainstream, and consider the role which Russia played in the wider development of Western European art.
The century from c. 1750 to c. 1850 was one of almost unprecedented development in British architecture. New relationships with the ruined buildings of the ancient Graeco-Roman world emerged in response to the effects of the Grand Tour and of the incipient science of archaeology, while an indigenous antithesis was represented by surviving or revived Gothic forms. The ideologies of the Picturesque and of Romanticism incorporated both classicism and medievalism, as well as more exotic forms of architecture inspired by Britain’s trading links with the Far East. This was also the period in which Britain emerged as the world’s first industrial nation, leading not just to new building materials and building types but also to rapid expansion of cities. In this special subject, the architectural effects of changing political and social imperatives in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries will be studied against the background of longstanding British traditions in building and landscape design.
This course explores works of art and architecture that reveal or are informed by the long, complex, and often troubled relationship between the West and the Islamic world. Though extending in scope from the early modern period into our own time, the course focuses on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when East–West artistic interactions were arguably at their liveliest and most charged. Topics to be addressed include Ottoman Baroque architecture, academic Orientalist painting of the nineteenth century, Qajar portraiture and photography, Islamicate architecture at Western world’s fairs, and the Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Students will be encouraged to consider the differences as well as commonalities between these various modes of cross-cultural representation and engagement, and to think critically about the political, cultural, and artistic conditions that gave rise to and shaped them.
This course examines the major developments in the theory and practice of art from the late 1940s until the end of the 1990s, paying particular attention to the art of the 1960s and its legacy. The explosion of 1960s artistic innovations overturned formalist modernism and initiated debates about postmodernism which remain contested. While the emphasis of the course reflects the importance of American contributions to the development of postwar art it also treats important British, Western European, and Latin American practices. Particular emphasis is placed on the challenge to painting and sculpture mounted by the Neo-Avant-Garde and, most comprehensively, by Conceptual art. The collapse of medium-specific conventions continues to present a challenge for the definition of art up to the present day.
