【Course Objectives】

We will become familiar with images of Virgin Mary, which have brought people together in Christian faith widely since the Middle Ages with a variety of breadths and depths while using the doctrine of Mary as the Mother of God as the base. We will rely on the Bible and chants as well as a range of vernacular literature such as sermons, exampla and miracles, etc., to understand the symbolism of Christian art.

【Course Contents】

In particular, we will deal with images of Mary, who came to take on diverse symbolism and who has had various names such as the Holy Mother of Mercy, the Queen of Heaven, and Ecclesia that reflect the reverence for Mary from the twelfth century in particular. Using biblical writings as our starting point, we will consider the diverse meanings and functions of images of Mary from multiple perspectives, referring to texts such as the miracles of the Virgin written in the vernacular and prayers and hymns to the Mother of God.
