Between the 11th and 13th centuries, Romanesque art developed with a style similar to Roman art. Romanesque architecture featured stone churches built in a Latin cross floor plan with barrel vaults and buttresses. Interior walls, columns, and windows were decorated with paintings on plaster showing biblical scenes to educate the largely illiterate population. Sculptures carved into architectural elements like capitals and altars depicted religious figures and were often colored. Romanesque art focused on religion through the architecture and decoration of churches and monasteries.

A Trip to the Metropolitan Museum
The visit is blood-curdling and gives a fantastic experience
Metropolitan Museum of Art can easily fit among the famous legendary European museums
The museum is iconic Beaux-Arts façade
Visiting Metropolitan Museum of Art has left me recalling of that blood-curdling and fantastic experience. Being one of the world’s premier cultural institutions and houses, it significantly encompasses nearly everything from the ancient classics to the modern masters. With its iconic Beaux-Arts façade, Metropolitan Museum of Art can easily fit among the famous legendary European museums. Although it is distinctly American and New York experience, it is a melting pot of the spectacular art and the artifacts from across time and the world. Interestingly, the museum is fondly referred to as the Met and visitors can travel from as far as Paleolithic Egypt to the Neolithic Near East to experience their culture in the form of artifacts in the museum.
What I realized is that Met features a comprehensive collection of calligraphy, art and even ritual objects from Nepal, China, and Tibet. I was further fascinated by the artifact of Sarcophagus of Junius Bassus and ignited my curiosity, and I immediately yearned to know its origin and history of this magnificent artifact (Baetjer, 1999).

Sarcophagus of Junius Bassus
Sarcophagus of Junius Bassus is a significant marble of Early Christian Sarcophagus
used for the burial of Junius Bassus
the sarcophagus was placed in the Old St. Peter’s Basilica inside the Vatican
Sarcophagus of Junius Bassus is a significant marble of Early Christian Sarcophagus that was used for the burial of Junius Bassus, who is known to have died in 359. Importantly, it has then been described as the single most famous piece of early Christian relief sculpture. Originally, the sarcophagus was placed in the Old St. Peter’s Basilica inside the Vatican. Moreover, is one of the oldest surviving high-status sarcophagi with clear and elaborate carvings of Christian themes with complicated iconographic plans that embrace both the old and new testaments.

Junius Bassus
Junius Bassus was a significant figure and a senator
headed the government capital as the Praefectus Urbi
Bassus converted to Christianity shortly at the verge of his death
Junius Bassus was a significant figure and a senator who was the head of the government capital as the Praefectus Urbi at the time of his death in 359 when he was 42 years. Just as the artifact of sarcophagus depicts, Bassus converted to Christianity shortly at the verge of his death (Stokstad, 2010).

Style and art of sarcophagus
the workmanship and cooperation were of the highest quality
the sculpture shows fewer features of the late antique style of sculpture
the sculpture ignores practically all the rules obeyed by official artifacts
reflects a blending of the late Hellenic style with the contemporary Roman and Ital.
"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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Between the centuries XI and XIII, there was a
artistic style very similar to the Roman art, and
it’s called Romanesque.
The religion and the church were very
important in the medieval society, and all the
artistics manifestations were religious.
In the Roman art, the architecture, was very
important, and all the paintings and sculptures
were use to decorate religious buildings.
3. Romanesques churches
The churches were built with
stones, and this is the
reason, that there are
a lot of munuments
today.
The principal elements
of a Romansque church
are:
4. At the begining, the plant had
only one arm (basilica plant),
and very soon, they made a
new arm called transept, that
formed a Latin cross.
The place where the two arms
cross, is called cruise, and it
was cover it for the dome.
The head of the church, called apse,
was semicircular, and sometimes,
the lateral naves, were longer, and
the ambulatory sorround it.
5. For give more strong to the buildings, they made
barrel vaults, and they support big and thick walls,
columns, arches…
The stone vaults were very heavy, so the walls that
have to hold them, were very broad, and for reinforce
it, they made the buttress.
In the churches, there were some holes, and the
windows were long. The inside of the church were
very dark.
Also, the made bells tower on the outside, and
cloisters
in the
monasteries
and in
some
big
churches.
.
6. Paintings and Roman sculptures
The roman style decorate the inside and
outside the churches
with a religious
character. In the
medieval world, the
mayority of people
were illiterate, and
they learnt with this
decorate. The paintings
and sculptures were
very important in this
period.
7. Fresh and tables
Romanesque paintings had a great explosive
force, but there were
simple:
They used fresh paintings
on the wall, and then, they
put on gypsum for paint
better. The paintings didn’t
have depth or volume.
The tables were also
paintings: they put on some
gypsum, and then, they
put that on the altars.
The miniatures were
important too.
8. SCULPTURES
The roman sculptures were very dependent with
the architecture, and they had
the same shape of the surface
where they were sculpted.
The capitals of the columns,
inside or outside the cloisters,
were very important. The
religious carvings, were very
important too. They had
colours that looked very
good.
They put that on the altars
of churches or monasteries.
