Course content

2 sections • 9 lectures • 58m total length

  • S7T1.1 Introduction3:36

    Trace the evolution of crucifixion imagery in Byzantine iconography from early concealment to later, twelfth-century forms, noting orthodox calm and the inscription 'the king of glory'.

  • S7T2 Basic Structure4:38

    Set up the basic figure with a baseline and horizontal line, then position the head, raised shoulders, and lifted arms, refining the torso with a curved hip, as in tutorials.

  • S7T1.3 Body and Garments10:36

    Analyze how a curved line divides into three parts, echoing the burial of Christ with an upright form, while cloth wraps the waist and hangs down to emphasize angular relationships.

  • Face and Inscriptions8:44

    Examine how inscriptions on Byzantine crucifixion icons label the king of glory and how abbreviated forms convey meanings around the face of Christ.
