Romanesque art




The Romanesque period was from approximately 800 A.D. to 1100 A.D.  The term Romanesque was first given to this type of architecture in the 19th Century due to it's similarities between the barrel vault and the Roman arch.  Church buildings, art, and sculpture, were all used for the purpose to spread the Christian Gospel.
    During this time in Europe there was a very large interest in religion.  Large numbers of people traveled on pilgrimages to visit sites of saints and martyrs.  People believed that holy relics had the power to do miracles.  The routes to the more famous holy places, such as Santiago, became very well traveled and required larger buildings to hold the large crowds.   The basilica style church could not hold the large crowds which were coming.  They began to build churches in the shape of the Latin cross.   The pilgrim would enter the church through the nave.  They would then come to the area known as the crossing, which was under a groin vault, where the vaults of the nave and the transepts  would intersect.  The relics of the church would be held and displayed in the area of the high alter.  The pilgrims would be allowed to view the relics from the ambulatory which allowed for a good traffic pattern for these large crowds.  The more famous the relics a church held, the larger the crowds it would attract.

    
The architects also wanted to get away from using wood for the ceilings.  They began to use stone ceilings on the new type of churches.   Barrel or groin vaults were used in the ceiling.  The stone was supported in the middle by the arch construction but was very heavy.  The weight of the ceilings would tend to buckle the walls outward.  This pressure outward is known as outward thrust.  To support the walls, large piles of stone would be stacked along the wall in intervals to buttress (or support) the walls from pushing outward.

Due to the weight of the stone ceiling, the wall of the church had to be very thick.  Windows had to be small to keep the strength of the wall strong.  Because of this, the churches interior was dim.  This was not solved till the gothic church design was used. 






Look for a picture of a castle, monastery, baptistery, church or any other building that belongs to this period. Upload the picture with a three lines comment of which elements of the building let you know that this building belomgs to the Romanesque period. You cannot repeat buildings sent by your peers, so hurry up to be the first one!!

  2. The Beauvais Romanesque Cathedral has many characteristics which let you see the kind of architecture it was build. It is made of stone, supported by archs but as the stone ceilings where to heavy they created flying buttress to support the walls. For me the stained glass of this cathedral is the best part of it, because of their beautiness.

  5. The Romanesque churches were not very tall because in that time they didn´t know a lot of architecture and it could fall also they constructed like a lot of little parts of the buildings very close that helped not to fall. And they used pendentives to support and decorate this is an example of churche of that time:

  9. church of san Milanhttp://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/media/17347/The-Romanesque-church-of-San-Millan-Segovia-Spain

    it can be easily distinguished as a romanesque church because of his cornels, it has many of them, it also has a lot of arches, in the entrance, in the windows, everywhere. Other thing that refers to this style is the short buildings with big towers, this because they don't knew how to keep a heigh construction in good conditions.

    Burgundy is famous for its wines and gastronomic tradition but is also known for its Romanesque treasures.
    The Romanesque style of architecture was introduced to Burgundy by Guillaume de Volpiano who came to Cluny in 987. He began the construction of the basilica of Saint-Benigne de Dijon in 1001 and the next year founded the Abbey of Bec in Normandy.
    Its circular arches, however, created problems by producing outward thrust forces on the walls. The introduction of vaulted roofs concentrated the weight onto pillars which could be supported by buttresses.

    (I don't know if they have already used this monastery but I can't check all the comments to see that)

    You can see that this monastery (Abbey of Santa María de Alaón) is from the Romanesque because you can see that they didn't make very tall towers and they had small windows. The tower must have something like bells because they didn't know how to support the weight of heavier constructions.

    The author of this sculpture is a french roman sculpture in La Madeleine, Neuilly-en-Donjo
    The sculpture has a religious meaning.
    We don´t see the human body naked and the figures are rigid.

    The Battistero di san Giovanni This construction is one of the most important and representative ones of the Romanesque period because it has all the caracteristics of baptistery and was one of the first building of this type. Here I posted two links :)

    The Florence Baptistery (Battistero di San Giovanni, translated Baptistery of St. John) a Florentine Romanesque style minor basilica, was built between 1059 and 1128 across from the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (Duomo).

    Many important personalties of the Renaissance were baptized at the Florence Baptistery (Battistero di San Giovanni), including Dante Alighieri and the Medici family, is a religious building in Siena, Italy. It is located in the square with the same name, near the final spans of the choir of the city's cathedral.
