Arh1000 roman time capsule pompeii & herculaneumProfWillAdams
The document provides information about Pompeii and Herculaneum, two ancient Roman cities buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. It discusses how Pompeii in particular has provided important insights into Roman city life due to its well-preserved ruins. While Pompeii is often romanticized, the document outlines several misconceptions and realities about the eruption and its aftermath, such as that many residents had warning and tried to escape, and that the site was explored shortly after by locals.
Roman architecture was heavily influenced by earlier Etruscan and Greek styles, but the Romans also innovated, particularly with the use of concrete and arched structures like aqueducts. They developed standardized city plans with gridded streets and public forums. Important building types included basilicas, which served civic and religious functions, and temples which often had colonnaded porches and cellas. The Pantheon featured the innovative use of a dome structure. Aqueducts brought water into cities using arches to support elevated stone channels.
Christianity began to rise in Rome in the early centuries AD. It was initially banned and Christians faced persecution, but the message was spread by St. Paul. Over time, Christianity gained acceptance and followers. In 313 AD, Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity, allowing it to be openly practiced. Churches were then built throughout Rome and the empire. Crusades later occurred between the 11th and 13th centuries, with Christians trying to retake the Holy Land from Muslim rule. Moorish rule in Spain during this period saw the construction of impressive architectural structures like the Alhambra palace complex in Granada.

The document provides an overview of early Christian architecture from approximately 300-600 AD. It discusses the influences of declining Rome, military strongholds, castles, and monasteries. Early Christian architecture in Rome was influenced by existing Roman styles but adapted based on geographical location. Churches were modeled after Roman basilicas and often reused materials from pagan temples. Typical features included a nave with side aisles, an entrance hall or narthex, and an apse where the bishop's throne and altar were located.

During the 13th century, the Byzantine Empire was weakened and Constantinople was captured by Crusaders in 1204, establishing the short-lived Latin Empire. When the Byzantines recaptured the city in 1261 under Michael VIII Palaeologos, they sought alliances with the Mongol Empire to counter the growing Ottoman threat. Several important Byzantine churches from this period still stand in Istanbul, such as the Church of the Pammakaristos, though most have been converted to mosques. The Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453 marked the end of the Byzantine Empire.
This document provides an overview of Romanesque architecture between the 11th and 12th centuries in France. It discusses key characteristics of Romanesque architecture including thick walls, rounded arches, and heavy, blocky designs inspired by Roman basilicas. It also summarizes the rise of pilgrimages during this period which drove massive church construction across Europe to house relics. Examples like St. Sernin, Sainte-Foy, and St. Etienne cathedrals illustrate common Romanesque design elements like transepts, ambulatories, and early rib vaulting that paved the way for Gothic architecture.
This document provides information about Romanesque art and architecture from the 11th-12th centuries. It discusses key elements of Romanesque churches like thick stone walls, ribbed vaulting, small windows and decorative tympanums and portals. Specific examples covered include the Bayeux Tapestry, Saint-Etienne in Caen known as the masterpiece of Norman Romanesque, and the pilgrimage church of Saint-Sernin in Toulouse with its radial chapels and ambulatory. Regional variations are also summarized, such as Italian churches featuring classical columns and arcades.

1. - In the Gothic art, Paris is the center of intellect, and people made enormous book illuminations. Thus, book manufactures became professional artists, and they made books for royal family, scholars, and prosperous merchants. The image of Christ represents many characteristics of Gothic Arts. For example, like other illuminated books in Gothic period, it is consisted of three dimensional architectural setting similar to the figure 13.36. It is dived two big parts, drawing and texts. The upper side of drawing depicts Christ with two angels. Christ is blessing with his right hand, and he holds the bible with his left hand-old iconography of Christ. The lower side of drawing demonstrates three small figures. One of them is the angel of God who directs Saint John to write the book. Artist shows his motivation to make this book through the angel figure who directs him. Many artist in Gothic period, represents his motive, name or brand name on the books. In addition, similar to the figure 13.32, it gives figures volume by using different colors and lights. It uses distinctive colors, especially blue and red.
2.- The image of Christ has been changed many times. At first, in Byzantine period, Christ is often depicted as royal and sacred being. Byzantine considered them as Roman empire, so they tried to depict Christ with resembling Roman royal people. For example, Jesus in the figure 9.13 appears in a deep blue almond shape mandorla-the light, and the background is gold colors which is related Roman empire. Also, Jesus is bigger than others, and he is blessing others with his right arms. It represents that Jesus has powers and authority, and he is sacred being. The other example is the figure 9.29 Virgin and Child. The Christ and Mary wear gold and black clothing related royal art. Also, Mary is depicted omniscient being because the sadness appears on her face as if she already know sacrifice of her son.
In Romanesque period, people depict Christ as a final judge after he returns. In that time, people tried to inherit Roman empire’s works like Byzantine period, but Romanesque Europe has combinations of lots of art style from different cultures. For example, the figure 12.12 depicts the last judgment. Christ is larger than other figures, and he is in the mandorla like Byzantine works. There is both heaven and hell, so it warns to people that they go to hell when the last judgment if they don’t believe Jesus. In addition, the figures are similar to icon image rather than roman figures. It indicates that Romanesque art is the combinations of all different art.
In Gothic period, Christ is more humanize because, in Gothic period, people emphasize humanism on their art. Thus, people depict intensive emotion of both Christ and Mary on the works. The example is the figure 13.51 Virgin with the Dead Christ. The body of Christ is stiffed in death, and covered with blood. Unlike the former image of Christ, it represents death of Christ as human being rath ...

For example, like other illuminated books in Gothic period, it is consisted of three dimensional architectural setting similar to the figure 13.36. It is dived two big parts, drawing and texts. The upper side of drawing depicts Christ with two angels. Christ is blessing with his right hand, and he holds the bible with his left hand-old iconography of Christ. The lower side of drawing demonstrates three small figures. One of them is the angel of God who directs Saint John to write the book. Artist shows his motivation to make this book through the angel figure who directs him. Many artist in Gothic period, represents his motive, name or brand name on the books. In addition, similar to the figure 13.32, it gives figures volume by using different colors and lights. It uses distinctive colors, especially blue and red.
2.- The image of Christ has been changed many times. At first, in Byzantine period, Christ is often depicted as royal and sacred being. Byzantine considered them as Roman empire, so they tried to depict Christ with resembling Roman royal people. For example, Jesus in the figure 9.13 appears in a deep blue almond shape mandorla-the light, and the background is gold colors which is related Roman empire. Also, Jesus is bigger than others, and he is blessing others with his right arms. It represents that Jesus has powers and authority, and he is sacred being. The other example is the figure 9.29 Virgin and Child. The Christ and Mary wear gold and black clothing related royal art. Also, Mary is depicted omniscient being because the sadness appears on her face as if she already know sacrifice of her son.
In Romanesque period, people depict Christ as a final judge after he returns. In that time, people tried to inherit Roman empire’s works like Byzantine period, but Romanesque Europe has combinations of lots of art style from different cultures. For example, the figure 12.12 depicts the last judgment. Christ is larger than other figures, and he is in the mandorla like Byzantine works. There is both heaven and hell, so it warns to people that they go to hell when the last judgment if they don’t believe Jesus. In addition, the figures are similar to icon image rather than roman figures. It indicates that Romanesque art is the combinations of all different art.
In Gothic period, Christ is more humanize because, in Gothic period, people emphasize humanism on their art. Thus, people depict intensive emotion of both Christ and Mary on the works. The example is the figure 13.51 Virgin with the Dead Christ. The body of Christ is stiffed in death, and covered with blood. Unlike the former image of Christ, it represents death of Christ as human being rath ...
In 330 AD, Constantine the Great moved the Roman capital from Rome to Byzantium, renaming the city Constantinople. This established the Byzantine Empire, with Constantinople as its center, that lasted until the fall of the city to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.

This painting by Claude Monet depicts a sunrise scene at the port of Le Havre, France. In the foreground are two small rowboats, with fishing boats and larger ships like clippers and steamships in the middle and background. Monet painted the scene to capture the contrast of traditional fishing alongside the modern industry symbolized by steamboats and cranes, representing France's regeneration after recent defeat in war.
