Georgian architecture

Gothic art evolved from Romanesque art and lasted from the mid 12th century and lasted to as late as the 16th century in some areas. Architecture was the most important and original art form during the gothic period. The principal structures of these buildings came from the medieval masons and their work to innovate and create new structural support to better hold these historical buildings. The elements they created allowed for taller, more massive, and complicated ground plans in building than…

Even their names help to convey this, Horrocks sounds very simple and English whereas Raut sounds European and slightly more upper class. The story is set in three key places, in a garden, a railway crossing, and an iron works, which all have their individual gothic elements. The garden is portrayed as a dark, still place, with an atmospheric sky looming overhead, the railway crossing is where Raut experiences a near death incident, but oddly enough Horrocks saves him, then the final…

Among the numerous Femme Fatales of the Gothic Literature Era existed one of extraordinary power and mystery. Ayesha, known as “She,” was one of the greatest seductresses of the late Victorian Gothic period created by H.G. Haggard. With her unique beauty and charm she could put the world at her feet, but with total power comes consequence. She who must be obeyed was only as powerful as the blinding obsession she had for Kallikrates would allow her to be. Ultimately,a it is that obsession that…

filled with light. Saint Denis Abbey’s newly designed choir would herald a revolution in architecture which would ripple throughout the culture of Christendom. The Italians would call the style Gothic. Gothic, meant as a slight, was so named to suggest that the culture of Christendom had been destroyed by the Goth barbarians. However, the influence of opus modernum, modern work, would change more than the architecture of churches in Europe. The Gothic style would influence the culture of Europe.…

Immaculate Conception in Ferdinand, Indiana—built in the late 19th century to early 20th century—and Abbey Churches and Cathedral from 12th and 13th century. Designs from exterior building, to design of ceilings and windows are what create and give the architecture depth and significance even several centuries later. Though several other specifications are gathered in comparing the art, I found in images 20,10,16,17,15,18,27, and 28 to be to the most interesting and almost identical…

When one door closes another door opens, or if you 're a part of my family it might be a window. It was a hot summer day when Nick and I locked ourselves out of the house. It would be several hours before our mother would be returning from work, and we didn 't dare call our dad and tell him that we locked ourselves out. That left us with two choices, sit outside and wait or find an alternative way in. Being a hot summer day we opted for the second option. So we pried the screen off the window…

Barbarian Gothic Tribes destroyed the roman empire and its culture in the fifth century. This style of art can be looked at in almost every aspect of art. It comes in the form of painting, sculptures and most importantly architecture. Although painting was not as important as the architecture it still helped with the development of the era. The paintings during this era were centered…

Every day, every person is faced with choices. Some choices, such as what to have for breakfast, are rather simple. Other choices, however, are much more complex and require extensive thought and decision making processes. As choices become more complex, the influence of one’s personal values, ethics, and integrity become much more visible in the ultimate outcome, or decision. As a person and a leader, it is how these choices are handled that allows us to look ourselves in the mirror and feel…

De Stijl is Dutch for “the style” and it proposed ultimate simplicity and abstraction, both in architecture and painting. The visual language of the movement consists of straight lines, squares, rectangles, and the same primary colors that were prominent in expressionism. Curved lines and circles were considered to be representative of nature and were…

of very thick stone and were usually dark and cold, the Gothic cathedrals were some of the most exquisite things to have been created. Romanesque architecture was used to be functional as a church and a place to worship, the people of the high middle ages created a place where it could both be functional and beautiful, which is where Gothic architecture was born. They sculpted statues into the sides of the buildings and sculpted ornate details into the walls. The use of marvelous marble became…
