The transept of Romanesque churches was unified by creating a regular crossing bordered by arches of equal size corresponding to the four arms of the church. Wall passages contained within church walls articulated the wall surface and decorated exterior faces. Ambulatories extended around apsidal sanctuaries, creating continuous passageways with attached chapels. Sculptural decoration included carved capitals, doorways and arcades, with regional variations.
Renaissance
“ Rebirth”
Revival of artistic achievements based on classical world.
‘Rebirth’ of classical Greek and Roman. The movement started in Italy.
During this era, people began to research the culture of the antique world.
The period was triggered by the increasing sophistication of the society, where economic growth, educational pursuits and political stability were key factors.
The limits of renaissance architecture was pushed by wealthy patrons such as Medic family of Florence, Pope Leo X and Pope Julius II
Characteristics
Building was looked upon as works of art. It followed traditions of middle ages that did not separate the structure from the decoration.
In situ construction hence harmony was given between the jointing and the architectural features.
Standardization of classic roman orders- Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian & Composite and its reintroduction both structurally and decoratively.
An art of free expression : Architecture became to a great extent a personal art due to the fancy of individual architects, many of whom founded schools of design.
A building was regarded rather as a picture with pleasing combinations of lines and masses
Symmetry and proportion
Appearance of building less in size than in reality due to the largeness and fewness of the parts used.
Towers used sparsely, if used occur symmetrically located.
Interiors planed on roman principles.
Ashlar masonry construction
Materials are large, and carry out the Classic idea of fewness of parts .
Gable end , formed as pediments either pitched or semicircular
Vaults are of simple Roman form
The Classic columns and orders were revived and used decoratively .
The principal cornice plays an important part in the style.
Mouldings produced an effect of horizontality.
Stained glass was little used
Sgraffito – coloured plaster was applied.
Efficiency in the crafts.
Italian Renaissance - Palazzo Ricardi, St. Peters Basilica, Rome, Villa Capra, Vicenza
⦁ Italian Renaissance is divided into three periods
Early Renaissance (Early 15th century)
Includes the works of Brunelleschi & Michelozzo. The concepts of architectural orders were explored, rules were formulated & classical detail & ornamentation was adopted. Space was organized by proportional logic & its form was subject to geometry. Ex. Basilica Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence by Brunelleschi.
II. High Renaissance (Late 15th to Early 16th century)
Renaissance became an individual style in its own right
Purist or Palladian, where Roman tradition was held in high respect (represented by Andrea Palladio)
Proto-Baroque, where there was more confidence in using the acquired vocabulary freely (represented by Michelangelo)
Mannerist, where practices which had no Roman precedent were interspersed with the usual buildings. Eg: Bramante
III. Baroque Period (17th century)
Architects worked with freedom and firmly-acquired knowledge.
Romanesque architecture is an architectural style of medieval Europe characterized by semi-circular arches. There is no consensus for the beginning date of the Romanesque architecture, with proposals ranging from the 6th to the 10th century. It developed in the 12th century into the Gothic style, marked by pointed arches. Examples of Romanesque architecture can be found across the continent, making it the first pan-European architectural style since Imperial Roman Architecture. The Romanesque style in England is traditionally referred to as Norman architecture.

ROMANESQUE ARCHITECTURE
Decline of Roman Empire lead to building of large churches called cathedrals in a big way with the spread of organized monasteries called order.
Monastic orders include orders such as the Benedictine order (teachers), Augustinian order (preachers), the Cistercian order (farmers), the Clunaic order (artists), and Carthusian order (Ascetics).
The monks used a simplified Roman style with thick load bearing walls stout columns, small window openings and semi circular arches that came to be known as the “Romanesque” style.
Expansion of Romanesque architecture was linked with pilgrimage to Santiago, expansion of orders, crusades and development of feudal system.
The style can be discovered throughout Europe with its regional variations.
CHARACTERISTICS
Harmonious proportions
Thick and heavy walls and pillars
Small windows
Round arches supporting the roof.
Round blind arches for decoration
Sculptured decorations on portals, capitals and other surfaces.
Painted decorations
Plan: Retains basic plan of Early Christian Basilica ( Long three aisled nave intercepted by a transept and terminating in a semicircular apse crowned by a half dome ).
Support arches are the combination of half segments of large hollow columns or a clustered group of small shafts.
Cruciform in shape masonry and square or rectangle in section.
Barrel Vault:
The simplest type of vaulted roof
Single arched surfaces extend from wall to wall, the length of the space to be vaulted.
Barrel Vault requires strong support from solid walls.
Groin Vault: Intersection of two barrel vaults at right angles.
Ribbed Vault: In a ribbed vault, not only are the ribs spanning the vaulted area transversely but each vaulted bay has diagonal ribs.
Pointed arch Vault:
In Late Romanesque period, another solution came into use from regulating the height of diagonal and traverse ribs.
Salvaged Columns
In Italy, during this period, a great number of antique Roman columns were salvaged and reused in the interiors and on the porticos of churches.
The marble columns are most durable and have stone horizontally bedded.
Majority are vertically bedded and are sometimes of a variety of colors.
They have retained the original roman capitals, of the Corinthian or Roman Composite style.
Salvaged columns
Drum Columns
Hollow core columns
Alteration of piers and columns.
Building materials
Brick – Italy, Poland , much Germany and parts of the Netherland.
Limestone, granite – other areas
Building stone – small and irregular pieces, bedded in thick mortar.
Architectonical Typology - Church, Monastery, Castle.
Italian Romanesque - Pisa complex
French Romanesque -Abbey aux Hommes
English Romanesque - White tower

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

1. ROMANESQUE architectural character
Transept & Crossing:
The transept which was originally
rooms(porticus) to the N and S of the
choir or was a virtually separate
building across the nave(continuous
transept) was unified by creating the
regular crossing bordered on each
side with an arch of equal size
corresponding to the four arms of
the church.
Surmounted by a tower
Wall passages:
Contained within the thickness of the
walls.
Articulated the wall surface by
forming columns and arches.
Confined to the upper sections of the
walls where loss of mass would not
affect stability
Opened outwards to decorate
exterior wall faces or inwards in
front of the clerestory windows
apse

interconnected with arches)
Buttress: Thick walls between the side
chapels act as buttresses
Wall passages: around apses and
octagonal lanterns add to exterior
massing
Towers: straight shafts, detached,
without buttresses or spires

italy Interiors
•The interior is faced with black
and white marble and has a gilded
ceiling and a frescoed dome. It
was largely redecorated after a
fire in 1595, which destroyed
most of the medieval art works.
•Impressive granite Corinthian
columns 68 in no. between the
nave and the aisle
•The coffer ceiling of the nave
was replaced after the fire of

11. Pisa Campanile 1174 – 1271 – Pisa, italy
It is situated behind the Cathedral and it is
the third structure in Pisa's Campo dei
Miracoli (field of Miracles).
Form:
•A cylindrical tower 16m in diameter
•Eight storeys in height consisting of
encircling arcades
Dimensions
•The height of the tower is 55.86 m
from the ground on the lowest side and
56.70 m on the highest side.
•The width of the walls at the base is
4.09 m and at the top 2.48 m.
Interiors
•In the thickness of the wall there is
the staircase with 294 steps. The
visitors may enter at each level a
gallery supported by 30 columns.
Summit
•The bell stage was added later in
1350. At the summit - around the belfry
there are 12 columns and there are
seven bells cast to reproduce the
seven musical notes
•The upper part of the tower
overhangs the base by more than 4.2m
due to subsidence in the foundation
lending it a very unstable appearance.

Constructed of white marble
Architectural detail
•Surrounded at its ground level
by an order of tall blind arcades
resting on half columns,
following an architectural plan
similar to the front of the
cathedral
•Above ground level are six
floors of aerial open galleries.
•The first floor is surrounded by
pillars with classical capitals,
leaning against blind arches.
•At its highest part lies the
cylindrical belfry of a smaller
diameter encircled by small
arcades resting upon consoles or
small columns framing the various
openings.
•From the fourth floor up, the
columns are thinner on the side of
leaning to lighten the weight in
that part.
Decoration
•The bas-reliefs, inscriptions, and
graffiti found in the Campanile, in
