Q
  1. The Middle Ages can be categorized into three periods. What are the names of these three periods?
A

The three periods are the Early Medieval, Romanesque, and Gothic periods. Although these periods tend to overlap, each period has significant characteristics in its styles and types of art.

113
Q
  1. The fresco paintings of Giotto di Bondone heralded a move from an older style to a newer style in religious figure painting. Describe these two styles and the specific characteristics of Giotto’s work that point toward this shift.
A

Giotto’s work shows the beginnings of the move from symbolic, non-realistic religious figure painting toward more realistic and representational images. Specific characteristics that indicate this shift include:

Depth created by using overlapping objects, value gradation, and perspective.
Emotional facial expressions.
Realistic body postures in highly physical activities.
Capturing a specific emotional moment rather than a symbolic event.
114
Q
  1. The Christian faith was strong during the Gothic period, yet some decorative elements of Gothic cathedrals portray a belief in something else. Describe these unusual elements and the beliefs they represent.
A

Grotesque figures, demons, and monsters decorate the exteriors of many Gothic churches. These decorative elements were used as functional items (rainspouts and guttering systems) but also represented earlier pagan superstitions in which many Christians still believed. These frightening creatures were intended to scare away evil spirits from the sanctuary of the church.

115
Q
  1. What specific architectural features of Gothic cathedrals fulfilled the dual function of illumination and divine connection?
A

The creation of stained glass and faceted windows, such as the rose window, above an altar created stunning beams of light and brilliant colored depictions of biblical stories. These new features provided light and also enhanced the sense of divine ambience; dramatic light beams seemed to connect worshippers more closely to God.

116
Q
  1. What shift in lifestyle and living circumstances led to the changes found in Romanesque and Gothic churches and cathedrals?
A

As the feudal system dissolved, a shift in lifestyle occurred. People began moving from rural country areas into large towns that grew in size, population, commerce, and trade. Cathedrals became the central structures of many growing cities, and universities began to replace monasteries as educational institutions. Pilgrimages to churches and cathedrals increased the number of congregants. Growing congregations required larger structures. Faithful followers financially supported the building of larger and more elaborate churches and cathedrals driven by the new market economies that thrived in cities and towns.
