ARTH 19.01 Fragments of Medieval Art: The Dartmouth Rose Window

This course capitalizes on the extraordinary presence of a medieval stone rose window at the Hood, which has been in storage since the 1970s. The course culminates in an exhibition about the rose window scheduled to open at the Hood during Winter 2025. Students will gain experience in the multi-faceted aspects of organizing an exhibition of architectural fragments, including object selection, research using primary and secondary sources, exhibition design, catalog writing, public-facing aspects like wall labels, and even hi-tech material analysis and digital scanning of the stone objects themselves. In terms of the rose window itself, students will learn about its meaning, materials, and its function in the Middle Ages, when many such features were added to buildings.
