DESCRIPTION:First lecture. The visual culture of Upper Egypt has typic
 ally been seen as not only separate from that produced in other major 
 centers of the Roman empire\, but also of a much lower quality. In the
  last decade\, conservation and archaeological work at the Red and Whi
 te Monasteries has uncovered fascinating evidence to the contrary\, in
  the form of wall paintings and architecture. A decorated tomb in the 
 White Monastery dating to the middle of the fifth century\, and an aps
 e painting in the Red Monastery church of circa 500\, include no regio
 nally specific features\, and could have been created anywhere in the 
 Mediterranean. These new finds indicate the necessity of a complete re
 assessment of the role of Egypt in the creation of late antique visual
  culture.
