HUM 145 Chapter Notes - Chapter 8: Middle Ages, Christian Art, Stained Glass
Document Summary
During the xi-xiii s we will find new art throughout europe. We have to keep in mind that it is purely christian art, that is, we will find it assimilated to church buildings although its characteristics could be assimilated into other civil buildings of the time. The most interesting thing about this art is that each nation or kingdom made this artistic trend their own and therefore we cannot mention any country above the other. Thus, the most important kingdoms in which this art occurred will be spain, italy, france, and germany. The appearance of this new artistic trend is closely linked to a series of religious reforms that had just been carried out within the catholic church, appearing. Cluny and that of the cister, which during the middle ages were the great builders of monasteries, precincts where all the knowledge and much of the wealth of the kingdoms were housed.
