On February 25 2020, a
lecture-seminar, titled “Art of Western Europe”, was held for the
third year students of the Faculty of Theory and History of
Christian Art. At the lecture-seminar, conducted in Classroom no. 8
by Mrs. Asmat Oqropiridze, PhD, was analyzed the painting of the
well-known Netherlandish painter Hieronymus Bosch The Prodigal Son;
its individuality, style and concept was discussed.
Mrs. Asmat spoke about
individualism – the style in which Bosch’s works are executed – and
compared his canvas with the one painted on the same theme (The
Return of the Prodigal Son) by the remarkable Dutch artist
Rembrandt. Apart from the aforementioned, the paintings of about
ten other artists were used for the comparison.
The lecture-seminar was attended
by the representative of the Quality Assurance Office, PhD in
History, Mrs. Natela Kapanadze, Assistant of the Department of the
History and Theory of Christian Art, Mrs. Rusudan Vashalomidze, the
Dean of the aforementioned faculty Mrs. Tea Bezhuashvili and her
assistant, Mrs. Zoia Mgaloblishvili.
The lecture-seminar was highly
interesting and interactive; the students showed a good knowledge
of the theme.
