Giotto, Trial by Fire of St. Francis of Assisi before the Sultan of Egypt, c. 1320.
Welcome to the Department of Art History at Binghamton University—a department whose programs have, since the 1980s, shaped a nationally distinctive profile through an explicit commitment to new theoretical perspectives and cross-disciplinary approaches to the history of art, the built environment and the broader field of visual and spatial culture, with a focus on global cultural exchange and a global perspective. The department is committed to the mutual enrichment of teaching and research, as reflected in its distinctive and challenging undergraduate curriculum and its prominence as an innovative and markedly international center for graduate education.
