Medieval art in Portugal began after the fall of the Western Roman Empire and was influenced by feudalism and the Catholic Church. The Romanesque style appeared between the 11th and 12th centuries and was characterized by robust architecture made from local materials like granite and limestone. Gothic art incorporated religious sculpture and the Manueline style, inspired by Portugal's naval power, featured decorative elements of maritime motifs on buildings like the Jerónimos Monastery. A unique period of Portuguese art declined when the country came under Spanish rule from 1580-1640.
"Romanesque" can be used to cover all derivations of Roman architecture in the West, from the fall of Rome (c.450 CE) until the advent of the Gothic style around 1150. Traditionally, however, the term refers to the specific style of architecture, along with sculpture and other minor arts that appeared across France, Germany, Italy and Spain during the 11th century. Richer and more grandiose than anything witnessed during the era of Early Christian Art, the Romanesque style is characterized by a massiveness of scale, reflecting the greater social stability of the new Millennium, and the growing confidence of the Christian Church in Rome, a Church whose expansionism set in motion the Crusades to free the Holy Land from the grip of Islam. Later, the success of the Crusaders and their acquisition of Holy Relics stimulated further construction of new churches across Europe in the fully fledged Romanesque style of architecture (Norman architecture in Britain and Ireland). In turn this building program produced a huge demand for decorative religious art, including sculpture, stained glass and ecclesiastical metalwork of all types. By the 12th century certain architects and sculptors had become highly sought-after by ecclesiastical and also secular patrons.

Philippine Art during the Spanish Colonial Period
The Spanish Colonial Period of the Philippines began when explorer Ferdinand Magellan came to the islands in 1521 and claimed it as a colony for the Spanish Empire. They introduced formal paintings, sculpture and architecture influenced with Byzantine, Gothic, Baroque and Rococo art style.
Most art are religious (catholic based) because Spaniards is focused in promoting Christianity towards the Filipinos.
Byzantine
Byzantine art are artistic products of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, as well as the nations and states that inherited culturally from the empire. These are more Christian based art.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. Introduction
Medieval Art is part of the period of history that we usually call the Middle Ages (V to
XV century of the Christian Era);
It begins with the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 and ends with the takeover
of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453), born from the aftermath of the
Germanic invasions and the disaggregation of classical, especially Roman structures.
3. Social and
politic context
The wars between the Roman and the German Barbarian (V and VI century) brought
great and important structural changes:
they weakened the mercantile economy;
caused the decline and reduction of urban centers;
disorganized the public administration;
caused a profound demographic depression;
and caused a cultural depression, because during the invasions and wars, many cities
were almost destroyed
All these changes have worsened in the following centuries due to new invasions
(Muslim, Norman, Scaslav and Magmagis), the precariousness of livelihoods, the
growing barbarism of customs, the emphasis of the ruralisation of economic and
cultural life and the permanent instability and insecurity;
4. Feudalism
These facts explain the installation of feudalism from the 9th century who
accompanied the formation of a society that was both warrior and rural, rude and
chivalrous and is characterized by decentralized power (delivered to the hands of the
feudal lord), the economy based on agriculture and the use of the work of the
servants - the kings attributed land to the feudal lords and these "hired" servants who
dealt with them, cultivating food that served for the subsistence of themselves and
their masters.
The servants also paid various taxes to the feudal lords for their land-inland housing
and for military protection. In this way a hierarchical society was formed in which the
Clergy occupied the highest position, followed by the Nobility (the feudal lords) and
the people, the servants.
5. Importance of
the church
The action of the Christian Church throughout the High Middle Ages (V to IX century),
exceeded religious, pastoral, and doctrinal obligations, simultaneously playing an
important civilizational role, in terms of agricultural techniques, the smoothing of
customs and the conservation and development of arts and letters, with churches and
monasteries as their focus. This explains how medieval culture acquired a religious
and doctrinal character and how art was influenced by that character, serving as a
means of spreading religion itself and its doctrine.
6. Romanesque
Art
Romanesque art appeared during feudal times, having developed among the XI
century and the end of the XII century, transforming into a mature and structurally
flexible art, which spread throughout Europe, becoming the first international style of
the Middle Ages. At this time, all European civilization moved in the name of an
architectural renewal that was the purest expression of the Faith.
Religion, religious fear, and the fear of the Last Judgment, moved the faithful on
pilgrimages to the main holy places. The monasteries and churches that were
diffusers of the religiosity of the time, had a greater importance when they possessed
relics of saints, becoming themselves places of pilgrimage.
The pilgrimages and crusades, made by popular and noble, contributed largely to
the internationalization of the art of the East and Romanesque.
The feudal political system and religion were the two dynamic poles of art in
medieval society. Art served the majesty of temporal and religious power, being made
to honor both.
7. Religious
Arquicheture
The Romanesque church, symbol of the spirituality of the time, was linked to a religious order,
to a monastery or installed within an agricultural community. Thus, the Romanesque Portuguese
has strongly rural characteristics and is linked to the construction of churches of small
dimensions, which depending on the region, were of greater or lesser technical quality and
formal and decorative exuberance.
The materials used in religious, civil, and military constructions were those existing in each
region: in the North of the country granite was used; in the Center limestone; and in the South
the brick.
The Portuguese Romanesque churches, in general, are characterized by robustness (given
by the thick walls and the use of the equipped stone); by the great sobriety and austerity, at the
formal and decorative level.
9. Civil and
military
architecture
Leiria’sCastle
As in the rest of Europe, fortifications (castles with residence, refuge castles and
watchtowers or protection) had as main role the defense of the population in
dangerous situations and had the same formal and technical characteristics.
The castles with residence had a solid construction, with stonework equipment
carved, having inside a residence; they had a robust appearance by the defensive
character they had.
10. TheGothic &
Renaissance
Eras
Winning the battle against invading Castile in 1385, João I came to the throne. As the
first monarch of the House of Avis, he presided over a flowering of Portuguese art and
architecture. This era with Manueline influences would survive for 2 centuries, until 1580,
when Portugal fell under the Spanish crown for 60 years.
While the Italian Renaissance style was sweeping parts of Europe, Portugal seemed stuck
in the Gothic period.
Begun in the late 14th century, the Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória at Alcobaça
remains a glorious monument to this time. It is arguably the most outstanding example of
Gothic architecture in Portugal.
When Renaissance architectural styles and art arrived in Portugal, it was most often
incorporated into Gothic art, leading to a medley of styles. Gothic sculpture was mainly
developed for the adornment of tombs such as the Royal Cloister at Batalha. The royal
chapel arches built here were in the original late-Gothic style, but the masonry rising above
them show the intricacies of the newly emerging Manueline style.
12. Portugal'sUnique
ManuelineStyle –
The style known as Manueline or Manuelino is unique to Portugal. It predominated between 1490
and 1520 and remains one of the most memorable art forms to have emerged from the country. It is
named for Manuel I, who reigned from 1495 to 1521. When Dom Manuel I inaugurated the style,
Manueline architecture was shockingly modern, a farsighted departure from the rigidity of medieval
models. It originally decorated portals, porches, and interiors, mostly adorning old rather than new
structures. The style marked a transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance in Portugal.
Old-timers claim that Manuelino, also called Atlantic Gothic, derived from the sea, although some
modern-day observers detect a surrealism that foreshadowed Salvador Dalí's style. Everything about
Manueline art is a celebration of seafaring ways. In Manuelino works, Christian iconography combines
with shells, ropes, branches of coral, heraldic coats of arms, religious symbols, and imaginative
waterborne shapes, as well as with Moorish themes.
Many monuments throughout the country -- notably the Monastery of Jerónimos in Belém, outside
Lisbon -- offer examples of this style. Others are in the Azores and Madeira. Sometimes Manuelino is
combined with the famous tile panels, as in Sintra National Palace. The first Manueline building in
Portugal was the classic Church of Jesus at Setúbal, south of Lisbon. Large pillars in the interior twist in
spirals to support a flamboyant ribbed ceiling.
13.
14. Although it is mainly an architectural style, Manuelino affected other artistic fields as
well. In sculpture, Manuelino was usually decorative. Employed over doorways, rose
windows, balustrades, and lintels, it featured everything from a corncob to a stalk of
cardoon. Manuelino also affected painting; brilliant gemlike colors characterize works
influenced by the style. The best-known Manueline painter was Grão Vasco (also called
Vasco Fernandes). His most famous works include several panels, now on exhibition in the
Grão Vasco museum, that were originally intended for the Cathedral of Viseu. The most
renowned of these panels are Calvary and St. Peter, both dating from 1530.
"The Great Vasco" was one of a series of Manueline painters who flourished between
1505 and 1550. These men created a true Portuguese School of Painting, with life-size
human figures.
Another leading artist was Jorge Afonso, court painter from 1508 to 1540 and a native of
Brazil. He was the leader of the so-called Lisbon School of Painting. There are no existing
works that can be attributed to him, however.

Gil Vicente (1465-1537) achieved success as a goldsmith, using precious metals
shipped back from South America. He was a Renaissance man, also excelling as a
playwright, poet, and musician.
17. The decline of the
Portuguese
MedievalArt
Portuguese art declined during the 60-year reign of Spain beginning in 1580. The new
Spanish rulers suppressed the unique Manueline style and restored classical motifs
from Italy.
Even when the Portuguese took back their country, with the reign of João IV, an
artistic revival did not occur until decades later.
