Gothic Revival architecture

1. Describe the impact pilgrimage routes had on Romanesque art and architecture. Include a discussion of a “pilgrimage type” church and a reliquary from this week’s PowerPoint. The pilgrimage routes impacted the Romanesque art and architecture by being visited and created by people from all over Europe. Pilgrims came from different locations, which increased the number of people coming and going to visit these churches and increase their interest in them. The pilgrims that were interested would…

Basilica of Saint Sernin and Cathedral of Chartres Centuries have passed and to this day churches tower above France, marking the astonishing legacy of the Romanesque and Gothic styles designed in the Middle Ages. A Romanesque church example is the Basilica of St. Sernin in Toulouse, France 1080-1120 (fig.1) and an example of a Gothic church is the Cathedrale de Notre Dame de Chartres in Chartres, France 1194-1260 (fig.2). Much like their periods, the Basilica of Saint Sernin and the Cathedral…

Romanesque and Gothic are two styles of architecture that were flourished during the Medieval Period, between the tenth to fifteenth centuries. First, the Romanesque style began and was later spread throughout Western Europe in a short period of time, which later on gave way to the Gothic style of architecture. Although Gothic style was followed by the Romanesque, they have had many similarities but also many differences as well. Romanesque style of architecture was generally considered as…

Gislebertus, a french sculptor who made major contributions to the cathedral of Saint Lazare was the sole creator of the lintel sculpture Eve (Encyclopedia Britannica “Giselbertus”). Gislebertus was a well-known sculptor due to his exhibition of expressionism carving and technical proficiency. With the rise of religion and the wide growth of Christianity throughout Europe, Gislebertus had the demonstration of the expressive range relief of Eve. The discovery of Eve was at the north portal of the…

This second paper made me think outside of the box of all the buildings I pass on way to and from class. After looking at the Medieval Paradigm, the Romanesque and Gothic structure best represent the Baker University Center. In my opinion the Baker University Center applies both to the Romanesque and Gothic structure. I know, that is uncommon and doesn’t really work that way, but when you compare the list of structures each group has, there are some that don’t apply and some that do in both…

Renaissance and Medieval art differs in many ways. The size of the pictures vary in size. The colors differ. Also, the way the art was made also differs. The people in the artwork also have differences. The characteristics of the art differs to.The art has some of the same characteristics too. Renaissance art is a little bit bigger than Medieval art. Although, there is not a very big difference. Renaissance art usually had a full body or a human so the picture would have to be larger. They want…

It replaced the original church of St. Francis of Assisi of 1270 and it was built by the architects Gaudenzio Casanova and Domenico Canevalle according to construction plans of Jean Baptiste Mathey. The fact that the church was really built on the remains of the former church can be proved by three round gaps in the floor. The church was consecrated in honour of St. Francis of Assisi in 1668, three years after its…

The Durham Cathedral stands out as one of the most elaborate and beautifully constructed cathedrals in England. This very distinct Norman architecture has made many of the English cathedrals very iconic in design dated around this same period. This cathedral, constructed between 1093 and 1133, uses very large columnar piers to support the entire structure from the nave arcades, to the grand central openings, to the large ceiling vaults. From the pictures I can conjure up, the building is…

Gothic cathedrals lasted from the twelfth century to the sixteenth century. They were first developed to bring happiness into people’s lives and especially the churches. The word Gothic first came from the Goths, who were “barbarians”, who held power in various places in Europe. The Goths lasted from the fifth to the eighth century, during the collapse of Rome and the start of the Holy Roman Empire. The Goths weren’t known for their architectural skills. Gothic cathedrals grew out of the…
