NOTICE: This Winter School has to be cancelled for this year. 
Should it be offered in 2025, infomation will be published in this webpage
at the end of October 2024.

The Winter School is offered as part of a partnership between the University of Pisa (Italy) and the University of Kiel (Germany).
The Winter School addresses image relations on Roman sarcophagi, II-IV c. CE. While research usually focuses on the iconography of the front of the coffer, the exercise will address all image fields in their interdependence. Consequently, the focus is on a limited group of sarcophagi, namely those for which a (securely associated) lid has survived. We will also analyse the spatial staging and its influence on the image design and image reception – if information is available. The geographical focus is on urban Roman sarcophagi.

Tuition fees are waived for students from the Universities of Pisa and Kiel.

The program will be activated also in distance learning mode (TEAMS platform).

Aim

The aim of the course is to provide participants with the main notions about the production and display of Roman sarcophagi, as well as an overview of the most up-to-date research on materials and iconography.

Classes engage participants both at the theoretical and empirical level, so that participants may develop broader awareness of the topic, as well as practical skills and competencies.

The course includes experiences from collections in a variety of fields: art history, science and technology, and the natural sciences.
