The Age of Pilgrimages: Romanesque Art
![Page 2: ARTID121 - Romanesque Art](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081717/547ea477b4af9f79248b465f/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
- The term Romanesque (meaning "Romanlike") is used to designate a period lasting approximately 150 years, from 1050 to 1200, when buildings incorporated certain architectural elements that resemble ancient Roman architecture.
- While mural painting and manuscript illumination continued much as before, there is a resurgence of monumental stone sculpture.
- Romanesque art was also greatly influenced by Byzantine art, especially in painting, and by the anti-classical energy of the decoration of the Insular art of the British Isles, and from these elements forged a highly innovative and coherent style.

- Romanesque architecture is noteworthy principally for:
- round arch
- stone barrel
- groin vaults
- thick and solid walls
- Most of the new buildings were cathedrals, churches, and monasteries that varied in style from one region to another.
- A number of churches were designed to accommodate visiting pilgrims.
Romanesque Architecture The term was invented by 19th century art historians, especially for Romanesque architecture, which retained many basic features of Roman architectural style - most notably round-headed arches, but also barrel vaults, apses, and acanthus-leaf decoration - but had also developed many very different characteristics.

The rise of towns:
-The increase in trade and the growth of towns and cities in the Romanesque period began to replace feudalism.
Monasteries and churches:
-Separated by design form the busy secular life of Romanesque towns were the monasteries and their churches.
Pilgrimages:
-The enormous investment in ecclesiastical buildings and furnishings also reflected a significant increase in pilgrimage traffic in Romanesque Europe.

Vignory, France
ca. 1050-1057
Regional diversity is evident in
Romanesque buildings. Specific
to northern style of French
Romanesque architecture is the use of large sawn blocks of stone to
construct the walls of the
buildings, but roofed with
timber.

Tournus, France
ca. 1060
Further south, in southern France,
Spain, and Lombardy, early
Romanesque builders generally
preferred to construct their
edifices with brick or small bricklike blocks of stone and to cover
the nave and aisles with vaults.

Saint-Sernin
Toulouse, France

Interior of Durham Cathedral
Durham, England
begun ca. 1093
Durham Cathedral alternates large
ornamented pillars with compound piers that
support a series of seven-part groin vaults
each covering two bays. It is the earliest example
of ribbed groin vaults placed over a three-story
nave.
![Page 25: ARTID121 - Romanesque Art](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081717/547ea477b4af9f79248b465f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Nave of Durham Cathedral
Durham, England
begun ca. 1093
In architecture, it signaled the importation of French
Romanesque building and design methods.
It was begun around 1093, in the generation following the Norman conquest, and is the centerpiece of a monastery,
cathedral, and fortified-castle complex on the Scottish
frontier.The church’s vaulted interior
which predates that of the remodeled Saint-Etienne at
Caen, retains its original severe Romanesque
appearance.

Pisa Cathedral complex in Pisa, Italycathedral begun 1063; baptistery begun 1153; campanile begun 1174Tuscan Romanesque architecture adheres closely to the traditions of the Early Christian basilica.
The cathedral complex at Pisa comprises a cathedral, a free-standing bell tower, and a baptistery. The cathedral has a timber ceiling and a nave arcade of reused classical columns. Arcaded galleries decorate the exterior of the leaning bell tower.

Interior of Pisa Cathedral
Pisa, Italy
cathedral begun 1063
The interior also at first suggests the basilica, with
its timber rather than vaulted ceiling and nave arcade of reused Roman
columns in unbroken procession.
Above the colonnade is a continuous horizontal
molding, on which the gallery arcades rest.The striped walls of
alternating dark green and cream-colored marble
provide a luxurious polychromy that became a
hallmark of Tuscan Romanesque and Gothic
buildings.

West façadeSan Miniato al
Monte
Florence, Italy
1062 and twelfth century
It sits, as its name implies, on a hillside overlooking the Arno River and the heart of
the Florence.The body of the church was
completed by 1090, the gable-crowned façade
during the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries.Even more than Pisa
Cathedral, the structure recalls the Early Christian
basilica in plan and elevation, although its
elaborate geometric incrustation makes for a rich ornamental effects
foreign to the earlier buildings.

Interior of San Miniato al Monte
Florence, Italy
1062 and twelfth century
Though at first glance, the lowest level much resembles the patterning of
Florence’s baptistery, the arcades and panels do not reflect the buildings
structure.The façade’s upper levels, of much later date than the lowest level are filled capriciously with geometrical
shapes that have a purely, ornamental function.
The nave is divided into three equal compartments by diaphragm arches.The arches rise from compound piers and brace the rather high, thin walls.They also provide firebreaks beneath
the wooden roof and compartmentalize the basilican interior in the manner so
popular with most Romansque builders.

Portal on the west façade of Saint-Trophime
Arles, France
second third of the twelfth century
For the church’s western entrance, a projecting portal resembling a
Roman arch was “attached” to the building’s otherwise simple façade.
Strictly Christian and thematically related to other Romanesque portals
already examined here.The tympanum shows Christ
surrounded by the signs of the Four Evangelists.

Benedetto Antelami
King Davidon the west façade of Fidenza
Cathedral
Fidenza, Italy
ca. 1180-1190marble
approximately life-size
The sculptor BENEDETTO ANTELAMI was active in the last quarter of the twelfth
century. Several relief's by his hand exist, including Parma Cathedral’s pulpit and the portals of
that city’s baptistery.His elbows are kept close to his body, and
his stance is stiff, lacking any hint of the contrapposto that is classical statuary’s
hallmark.Yet the sculptors conception of this prophet
is undeniably rooted in Greco-Roman art.

Christ in Majesty (Maiestas Domini) with apostles
Saint-Genis-des-Fontaines, France
1019-1020
Dated 1019-1020 by inscription, the lintel depicts Christ enthroned in a lobed mandorla supported by angels and flanked by apostles.To the left and right of Christ are inscribed the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, a reference to his role as Last Judge: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the Last, the Beginning and the End”.The Saint-Genis lintel is the earliest of many relief's on Romanesque church facades depicting or alluding to Judgment Day and the separation of those who will be saved from those who will be damned.

RAINER OF HUY, a bronze worker from
the Meuse River valley in Belgium, an area renowned for its
metalwork.In 1118 her
masterfully cast in a single piece the
baptismal font for Norte-Dame-des-
Fonts in Liege.The bronze basin
rests on the foreparts of twelve oxen, a reference to King
Solomon’s temple.The Old Testament
story was thought to prefigure Christ’s
baptism which is the central scene on
Rainer’s font.
