Encountering Saint Benedict in Context
Benedict was born in Norcia, Italy in the mountains surrounded by woods. His family was part of the ancient Roman aristocracy that had been in the region for centuries.

He spent time in Subiaco and at Monte Cassino, gradually developing his Rule through lived experience and drawing on early Christian wisdom and traditions.

Catholic Church In Medieval Europe
The Catholic Church was the most powerful organization in medieval Europe. It claimed authority over both religious and secular matters. The Church's power came from its role as a representative of God, its integration into daily life, and its ability to determine salvation or damnation through excommunication. Over time, the Church grew wealthy through donations and inheritance of land, and preserved learning through clergy who were literate in Latin. However, corruption grew as the Church's wealth and power increased.

The Medieval Church
Constantine the Great was the first Roman emperor to become Christian. He enforced correct Christian practice and after his death in 337, Byzantium was renamed Constantinople. Five special bishops had authority over church leaders, including the bishops of Rome, Alexandria, Antioch, Constantinople, and Jerusalem, and they argued over who was most powerful. The Christian church eventually split into the East and West branches.
The Francigena Route
The Francigena route was an important medieval pilgrimage path that stretched 1600 km from Canterbury, England to Rome, Italy.

Though the original route is now covered by modern infrastructure, interest in rediscovering and walking the Francigena route has grown since the 1970s.
The church
During the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church was the dominant institution in Western Europe. It was extremely powerful and governed almost every aspect of people's lives, even having its own laws and ability to execute those who disagreed. The Church was organized with the Pope as the leader in Italy and bishops ruling individual dioceses made up of parishes. Parish priests performed important community roles like masses, baptisms, and tending to the poor, though their lives could be difficult. Cathedrals built across Europe in the Gothic style featured tall stained glass windows and ornate interiors.

In Siena, painters such as Duccio and Lorenzetti also advanced realism through emotional expression and convincing spatial illusions in their works. This period established many principles that would underpin Renaissance humanism, education, and the study of antiquity.

AT 1001_Lecture 2 Late Medieval Italy.pptx
This document provides context on late medieval and early Renaissance Italy. It summarizes that Italy was divided into city-states during this time with advanced economies. The Black Death impacted Italian culture in the late 1340s. Artistic production was governed by guilds. It then examines specific works like Nicola Pisano's pulpit from 1260 that blended Gothic and classical elements. Duccio's Maestà altarpiece from 1308 showed departures from the Italo-Byzantine style. Giotto's frescoes in the Arena Chapel around 1305 were pioneering in their use of three-dimensional space and individualization of figures.
Gothic Art
Gothic art developed in Western Europe from the 12th to 16th centuries, coinciding with changes in medieval society. The most characteristic Gothic architecture featured cathedrals with pointed arches, vaulted ceilings, flying buttresses, and large windows to let in light. Gothic sculpture became more naturalistic and expressive, often depicting religious themes. Painting evolved from illuminated manuscripts to panels and frescoes with livelier colors and perspective. Overall, Gothic art marked a shift from the heavy Romanesque style through lighter, brighter designs that spread across Europe.
Gothic Art
Gothic art developed in Western Europe from the 12th to 16th centuries, coinciding with changes in medieval society. The most characteristic Gothic architecture featured cathedrals with pointed arches, vaulted ceilings, flying buttresses, and large windows to let in light. Gothic sculpture became more naturalistic and expressive, often depicting religious themes. Painting evolved from illuminated manuscripts to panels and frescoes with livelier colors and perspective. Overall, Gothic art marked a shift from the heavy Romanesque style through lighter, brighter designs that spread across Europe.
GUIDE 8 .docx
This document provides an overview of early Christian and Byzantine art from the 3rd century to the 15th century. It begins with a brief history of the division of the Roman Empire into western and eastern halves in the 4th century. Early Christian art developed in the catacombs and other hidden places out of necessity during periods of persecution. Notable examples include frescoes and mosaics incorporating Christian symbolism. The Edict of Milan in 313 marked the beginning of the Period of Recognition, during which large churches like St. Peter's Basilica in Rome were constructed. Byzantine art flourished in the Eastern Roman Empire centered in Constantinople from the 4th to 14th centuries, characterized by stylized realism
The Church of the Immaculate Conception in Ogtong (Oton), Iloilo, One of the ...
The original Chapel was built in Ogtong as it was then called in late 1566 by Friar Martin Rada. It was subsequently destroyed by a Dutch Raiding Party in 1614. The Church was rebuilt several times until the Mid-1860s when the largest, most ornate Church was consecreated in Oton. It was a veritable treasure that survived the Revolution and World War II and was unfortunately destroyed by the Lady CayCay Earthquake in January 1948. The quake was measured at 9.0 on the Richter Scale and it destroyed or levelled most of the buildings in the area. The Church was eventually rebuilt and finally consecrated in late 1966. That is the Church we see today!
Proto-Renaissance
The document discusses art before and during the Renaissance period. It notes that during the Middle Ages, the church was very powerful in Europe and art was abstract and served to communicate religious ideas to illiterate populations. It contrasts this with Renaissance art which embraced more naturalistic styles and individualism as humanist thought grew. The document uses Giotto as an example of an early Renaissance artist who moved away from medieval abstraction and began directly observing nature.
