Document Summary

Johann balthasar, neumann: vierzehnheiligen (germany), pilgrimage church, 1743- Renovation of catholic church in central europe is largely related to the increasing of cults: a local peasant is walking in a street, and 14 small people, in the representation of saint, says they are the emergence helper. Thus the church was built to commemorate the event, dedicate to the cult. Baroque comes to so closely to the gothic. Return to the idea of gothic exterior, tall and narrow front, flanked by pair towers on each side. The sense of height is increased by the narrow of width. The fa ade exemplifies the concave and convex juxtaposition. Making the upper part of the doorway push out and attract the viewer"s attention. The ship of the church is the representation of church"s power. Using a technique to take on a symbolic meaning. Mixture of italian northern tradition with gothic style.
