An old chronicler tells how the churches of his time looked. Which style is he describing?
In my day, back in the eleventh century, the abbeys of the West put on coats of solid stone. Vaults stretched over the naves, and entrances opened in round arches, as arched as a raised eyebrow. The wide, steady columns wore capitals carved with people and beasts. And the doors told stories in bronze reliefs. Nobody had a name for it yet, but we all stared in wonder.
Thick stone, round arches and capitals that tell stories: medieval Europe knew how to flirt, too. Come look at churches, mosaics and carved doors with a curious eye, play at matching styles, and pick up new words for talking about a work face to face. A quiz with charm, for all ages.
