This thesis explores a thematic collection of architectural paintings of the Oude Kerk in Delft that belong to a unique genre of architectural paintings that flourished in the Dutch Republic around the middle of the seventeenth-century. This body of work aims to challenge the common hypothesis that the perspective, and what follows, the proportions and composition of the paintings, was distorted. The presence of distortions is undeniable, although, there is a lack of comprehensive and detailed examination of all the known paintings of the Oude Kerk in Delft. It is the first time that the collection of over eighty paintings representing the same space is examined as a whole. Additionally, as an unprecedented working collection on the theme, it creates a new digital research environment to use for further study of the Oude Kerk in Delft and paintings of other church interiors in the 17th century Dutch art. This environment is the thesis?s practice-based component, the art-historical thematic research collection, which acts as a platform for the research undertaken in this study as well as a platform for dissemination and further development.

This thesis constructs an architectural history of Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, Dublin. In 1930s Ireland, there was a recognised need for a children’s teaching hospital with specialised paediatric facilities and accommodation. This work explores how all these factors were realised. The discussion will situate the hospital in the context of contemporaneous Irish and European hospital architecture. The factors which had an impact on the design of the building will be addressed. In regard to architectural style, Crumlin Hospital displays influences of the International Style and the Amsterdam School together with emerging trends in Swedish Modernism. The tenets of function, structure and pleasing aesthetic were honoured in the construction and many new innovations were incorporated into the final stage.

Subject: Painting

Period: 20th Century

This thesis aims ‘to discuss the position of the work of the Italian born artist Amadeo Modigliani in the history of art. ‘His formative years in Italy where he was exposed to the classical art of antiquity and also to the highly academic works of the Italian Renaissance’ will be discussed. This background gave him an understanding of the traditions of classicism. ‘His career in Paris introduced him to the Modernist movements and developments.’ ‘His work displays ‘a variety of influences and inspirations.’ His art shows ‘a love for the old, traditional, classical, but also with a desire to modernise and make his art of his time.’ His position in the history of art in Paris in the early twentieth century, ‘at a time of such upheaval and change’ will be discussed. The influence of sculpture on his work and his sculptural style will be examined as will his ability to reintrepret the classical style in a modern idiom.

An examination of the iconographic evolution of the image of Christ in Early Christian Art.

Subject: Frescoes, Mosaics and Sculpture
Country: Italy and Greece
Period: Early Christian

This dissertation examines the iconographical evolution of the image of Christ in Early Christian art. For the purposes of this thesis, it is assumed that the typical rendering of Jesus Christ as the fair skinned adult male with long brown hair, is instantly recognizable to most people. It is an image that has not changed dramatically since the sixth century. The divinity associated with the image of Christ gives it a significant amount of religious importance especially for Christians themselves, but where did this symbolic image come from? How has it changed since its inception? It is intended in this work to examine the origins of the image of Christ and trace the iconographic evolution of his image as it is developed throughout the Early Christian period. The time frame under examination is mid 3rd century AD to mid 6th century AD.
