| Description | There is no doubt that late antique - both pagan and Christian - images express and transmit emotions. But how did the gradual transition from mimetic to "conceptual" art, linked to the rise of Christianity in this period, affect such an experience? How did visual language and the emotional experience of the viewer change in Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages? And what role did the viewer's cognitive competence and the overall performative context play? These and related questions were addressed using texts of late antique authors, and especially contemporary multimedia aesthetics, based on the combination of shining images and monumental epigraphs, as evidence. |
