MIDDLE AGE ROMANESQUE ARCHITECTURE Week 10

“Romanesque” describes Western European architecture from the late 10th to the 12th century. The term Romanesque (“Roman-like”) was first used designate a style of architecture that used Roman arches and had thick, heavy walls, based upon the basilica, albeit a much endless technically competent version. THE CATHEDRAL OF PIACENZA

buttresses semi circular arch massive thick wall few/small openings THE CATHEDRAL OF PISA

The Romanesque period is marked by: Immense relief the world hadn’t ended at the turn of the millennium. The resurgence of cities and trade The emergence of Europe as we know it Strengthened Papal authority The emergence of middle class and merchant class Evolution of the Romance languages The peak in feudalism as a political system There was continued growth in monasticism with two prominent orders: Cluniac- education, music and art. Cistercian – manual labour and self denial

ROMANESQUE CHARACTERISTICS Thick heavy walls which support stone roofs A blocky, earthbound appearance Large, simple geometric masses The exterior reflects the interior structure and organization Interiors tend to be dark because of the massive walls that dictate small windows Growing sophistication in vaulting to span the large spaces; barrel vaults, groin vaults and rib vaults are used

PIERS In Romanesque architecture, piers were often employed to the support arches. They were built of masonry and square or rectangular in section COLUMNS SALVAGED COLUMNS In Italy, during this period, a great number of antique Roman column were salvaged and reused in the interiors and on the porticos of churches.

DRUM COLUMNS in most parts of Europe, Romanesque columns were massive, as they supported thick upper walls with small windows, and sometimes heavy vaults. The most common method of construction was to build them out of stone cylinders called drums.

CAPITAL The foliate Corinthian style provided the inspiration for many Romanesque capitals ARCHES AND OPENINGS Arches in Romanesque architecture are semicircular. Small windows might be surmounted by a solid stone lintel, larger windows are nearly always arched. Doorways are also surmounted by a semi-circular arch,

TOWERS Towers were an important feature of Romanesque churches and a great number of them are still standing. In northern France, two large towers, such as those at Caen, were to become an integral part of the façade of any large abbey or cathedral. In central and southern France this is more variable and large churches may have one tower or a central tower. Large churches of Spain and Portugal usually have two towers.
