Detailed Description

The Romanesque period in art history refers to the time from the late 10th century to the early 12th century. This was a time of great change in the world, with the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of feudalism. In art, this period is characterized by a return to the naturalism of the Early Christian period, with more realistic depictions of the human body and a greater emphasis on the three-dimensional nature of the world. Gothic art would later build on these foundations. Some of the most famous Romanesque artists include the Englishman William Blake, the Italian Giotto, and the Frenchman Claude Monet. Some of the most famous Romanesque paintings include the “Mona Lisa” by Leonardo da Vinci, the “Nativity” by Giotto, and the “Starry Night” by Vincent van Gogh. The Romanesque period was a time of great creativity in the arts, and the legacy of this period can still be seen in many modern works of art.
