1 ROMANESQUE ART ART AND CULTURE DURING THE FEUDAL AGE

2 CULTURE During most of the Medieval Age, knowledge is in the hands of clergy. There was a scriptorium in every monastery. A scriptorium was a place for writing. In it, monks or clerics used to copy and translate Ancient Greek- and Latin texts (manuscripts). By doing this, much of the previous culture was preserved.

5 CULTURE The most important institutions for learning until the 12th century were monastic and cathedral schools. The curriculum incorporated religious studies, the Trivium and the Quadrivium. Some cathedral schools evolved to the first universities, such as: Bologne (1088), Oxford (1096), Cambridge (1209), Salamanca (1218)

27 ACTIVITY Imagine and draw your own medieval castle. Do not forget to label the main parts in it.

28 ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE Reliefs are attached to buildings. A very common type of sculpture is the CHRIST IN MAJESTY (mostly in facades).

29 Individual statues were also made. These two types were frequent: Mary and Child Christ in the Cross

30 Capitals

31 Romanesque sculpture: characteristics Statues are mainly religious. Monsters and fantastic creatures were also sculpted (usually in capitals). They represented sin. Free-standing sculptures usually represented Christ in the Cross and Mary and Child. Artists wanted to express eternity. Thus, characters were unexpressive. People were mainly illiterate. Sculptures helped Christians to understand the Bible and Gospels.

32 The portal

33 Saint Pierre of Moissac - Portal

34 Pórtico de las Platerías Santiago de Compostela

35 ACTIVITY Look at the previous slide, the Pórtico de las Platerías in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Search for information about that portal: Parts. Sculptures (what do they tell us?). Chronology.

36 ROMANESQUE PAINTING Mural painting done in fresco was the most common. They also illustrated manuscripts with miniatures. The purpose of the paintings was didactic. As a result, religious themes predominated. Colours were plain and the scenes had no depth. The characters were in rigid poses. Their faces showed no emotion.
