Many major art history scholars agree that the discipline is in need of its own theory. This dissertation suggests that such a theory may include, along with long-established, rationalized forms of textual analysis, the archetypal perspective characteristic of the Western mind from its inception, especially as revived by C. G. Jung. The dissertation introduces Jung's vision of the mandala as a "skeleton key" that opens and illuminates deeper foundational dimensions of visual art.This dissertation approaches art analysis using the archetypal perspective based on the work of Jung as the methodological foundation of the research, and engages, along with traditional scholarly research, other, imaginative-intuitive ways of knowing.The dissertation focuses on four works of art from various epochs and cultures. The first such work is the Upper Paleolithic figurine of the Venus of Willendorf. The study suggests that this prehistoric artifact corresponds to the mandala still in the process of differentiation. The second work of art is the Egyptian Cippus of Horus. The application of the mandala grid to the imagery of the stela allows us to discern a hidden figure of the Deus absconditus, and proposes that the child Horus represents an early stage of the archetypal Hero's Journey. The third piece is the 15th-century Russian icon of Saint George. The analysis suggests that (a) the archetypal two-dimensional mandalic structure of human consciousness, lying at the foundation of artistic representations is now fully differentiated; and (b) that Saint George's symbolism presents another, later stage of the Hero's Journey. The last art work is the Annunciation by Piermatteo d'Amelia. The dissertation's analysis proposes that in the Renaissance, as the three-dimensional world-perception takes place, the archetypal quaternity undergoes the process of projectile collapse, creating a three-dimensional bi-mandala structure. This dissertation research concludes that understanding of the mandala as a structuring archetypal pattern informing the human psyche in general and visual art in particular may make a critical contribution to the discipline of art history.
