The use of ornaments in the Romanesque time can show so much about the religion at the time, showing some of the things followers of the church believed were possible and most likely the truth about some church mysteries or if you didn’t follow the church the things that might happen to you, like monster faces showing the unknown as something scary or something to get away from, thing that you would be so afraid of you wouldn’t want to surpass the law or even challenge it. Not only did they use faces of monsters or different animal sometime they wanted to represent life and everything we have around so some of them included figures of animal and nature to show the importance of the world we live in as well as giving us a more tranquil and easy

    Since these stained glass windows were usually high up in the church, people could not see what the art was portraying. The people believed it was a portrayal of Christ’s Crucifixion because that is what they were told. This shows in which you believe in something, even though you are not able to see it. I believe the reason that this piece was made was due to the advances in architecture at the later end of the twelfth century.

This helps one determine what was valued in the culture, which animals one would want to borrow strength from, which objects one would use to show rank. Despite these artifacts coming from different cultures (the Olmec and Tlingit Indian cultures respectively), these pieces share many similarities in concept and dedication.…

    The four factors that played a role in the economic boom in the 12th and 13th century were as follows: agricultural revolution, expansion of cities, advances in transportation networks and the creation of new business techniques. The agricultural revolution came with some advantages and disadvantage. One advantage of the agricultural revolution is that it allowed the control of food because if you grow and produce it than you have a better chance of not starving and a disadvantage to the revolution is that in order to maintain your production and continue to feed people than you literally have to change the environment and we all know that is not an easy task.

    I’m Angelica Silver. In the Dark Ages a lot of different things were going on, from living life completely by the sword. Government consists of little more than sending our bands or soldiers to collect taxes/tribute. The clergy are already a recognized class in society, but again many of the characteristics found in the medieval Church are not yet around. Communications are very slow and inefficient.…

    Since humans made the first illustrations upon cave walls, animals have been included in artwork and have represented a variety of ideas, stories, characteristics, and morals. Each individual animal carries their own symbolism, such as a lion representing royalty, a trickster fox, and a dragon for courage, and characteristics such as these may instantly come to mind when thinking of a particular animal. These symbolisms may be shown in a multitude of ways, by carving the animals into statues, putting their silhouettes on jewelry to adorn yourself in, or painted onto a canvas. While is an endless list of animals and related allegories to choose from, I will be focusing on how the Swan has been included into various works of art and the meaning…

    French Romanesque incorporates a classical style with medieval and Roman influence. Gothic sculptures although beautiful portrayed a decline in the traditional style, yet still included some Roman influence such as draped robes on sculptures. I favored French Romanesque style with emphasis given to Gislebertus’ Last Judgment. The Last Judgment sculpture depicts both aspects of the religious culture: heaven, hell, good, and evil. The statue possesses intricate detail of the human figure as well as angels and demons balancing out the souls who pass on to heaven and those who will be damned.…
