Romanesque ID Test

The Tympanum of the Abbey of Cluny. 
11-12th century
It is a portrayal of Judgement day. It was above the entrance to the church so that when people went in they remembered that Judgement Day was coming. People in this time believed that the end was very near because of the breakout of disease and because they were being attacked frequently. It shows levathons attacking people. 


The Tympanum of , France
11-12 century
This is also a portrayal of Judgement Day. Also located above the church doors. 

11-12th century
it is a church built during two eras. It has both romanesque and gothic features. It is built out of stone and has towers and roman arches which are all Romanesque qualities. It also has pointed arches, and windows which are gothic characteristics. Fenestration is the term for putting in windows. These windows were probably put in later in the history of the church.

This is a church built in the early periods of the Romanesque age. It features the flat early Christian ceilings, but has an arch that goes across the ceiling. It is built in basilica style.
