Presentation Transcript

  1. Romanesque Art 1050-1200 “A little after the year One Thousand, basilicas began to be built throughout the known land, and especially in Italy and the Gaul territories. And because the majority of them were still in good conditions and were not lacking in anything, a great spirit of emulation overtook all Christian populations: each wishing to surpass the next in magnificence. It was as if the world wanted to shake off the old, and cover itself with a great white cloak of churches". Raul Glaber

  2. Reasons for Revival of Large-Scale Architecture & Sculpture: • relief over millennium • replace destruction of 9th & 10th centuries invasions • rise of towns • new function of churches – not just for clergy but for laity • beautify house of God • PILGRIMAGES • Architectural Goals: • height (towards heaven) • light (metaphor for God) • stone vaulting (1. fireproof 2. accoutstics 3. looks cool)
