The Department of History of Art at Bristol is a thriving centre for the study of visual art and art criticism. Students are encouraged to explore a diversity of historical periods and critical approaches, from medieval altarpieces, through French nineteenth-century painting, to German Expressionism and Soviet public monuments. A strength of the department is its concentration on British art, where staff specialisms include Tudor portraits, Victorian aestheticism, Edwardian cosmopolitans, and contemporary diasporic art in Britain. A programme of collaborations with national and regional museums offers an exceptional opportunity to work in museum and curatorial contexts while studying for a postgraduate degree in History of Art.
Prospective students may be interested to know that, following an administrative reorganisation, History of Art is now formally part of 'Historical Studies' within the School of Humanities of the Faculty of Arts. Details of what this change entails can be found in the news item, History of Art joins History in new 'Primary Unit'
