Russian Art & Architecture From icons and onion domes to suprematism and the Stalin baroque, Russian art and architecture seems to many visitors to Russia to be a rather baffling array of exotic forms and alien sensibilities. Without any sense of the rich tradition of Russian culture, an appreciation of the country's enormous artistic wealth becomes a game of historical anecdote--"the church where so-and-so took refuge from what's-his-name"--or a meaningless colle ...

ARTICULATED WOODEN CHURCH Welcome to the artuculated wooden church of the Evangelic Lutheran Church of Slovakia in Svätý Kríž. Articulated churches form a separate group in the history of wooden churches in Slovakia. They are a distinct modification of that branch of Protestant architecture which began to develop in Prusian Silesia following the example of the church in Sweidnitz and gradually spread into the neighbouring Lutheran-orientated regions. They are different from Cat ...

CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL - A World Heritage Site [The Original but Unofficial Pages] © P.E.Blanche 1999 Twice in its early history The Cathedral succumbed to the ravages of fire only to rise again like a monstrous phoenix from the ashes.

The mighty cathedral is a symbol of god, his power, and how much people respect him. But, many of these marvelous cathedrals have either rotted away or were torn down for another reason. However, there are still some cathedrals left. One of the most famous cathedrals of today is the Notre Dame in Paris, France. We also have a cathedral in our very own Washington D. C. In this section of Architecture Through the Ages, we will be talking about how a cathedral is built and what is needed to b ...

Gothic Revival A rise of interest in the church architecture of medieval France, England, and Germany during the 19th century inspired the Gothic Revival, a popular style until the 1930s. Because it was used frequently in Chicago for religious buildings, examples can be found in most community areas. The campus of the University of Chicago, however, is the city's outstanding ensemble of Gothic Revival buildings. Common characteristics are: masonry construction vertical proportions tall pointed windows, often filled with stained glass and elaborate tracery carved stone ornament, including gargoyle-like heads and figures soaring bell towers 1.Second Presbyterian Church, photo by Barbara Crane

Churches Those spectacular churches and cathedrals in Europe which point towards the heavens make one realize the age difference between the United States and Europe. The cathedrals make one stand and wonder how it was possible to build such monuments to glorify God. How were the spires erected? How did the ceilings hold up such massive weight? Who did the tedious work on the interior? What purpose does the web vaulting serve? Then one looks at the fact that mass continues while touri ...

At the same time they are a remarkable example of folk architecture as the designers of these masterpieces are mostly anonymous. These churches can be f ...

The Dominance of the Church in Medieval Architecture Gothic Architecture, an "inspired departure from traditional architecture in order to achieve radiant light." The rapid spread of Christianity marks the Middle Ages, which spans from the fifth to the fifteenth century. Gothic architecture, characterized by soaring towers, flying buttresses, and beautiful, expansive stained glass, gives the many cathedrals that were erected at this time, elegance, mysticism and light that point towards the powerful God for whom they were created.

Introduction It is possible to learn about much of the history of Western architecture for the past two Christian millennia by visiting a few of the many Catholic churches of Cincinnati that were built since 1840. During the 19th century, for the first time, detailed and scholarly knowledge of the architectural styles of the past developed. Architects became fascinated with this and so was born "historicism." This lead to what Augustus Welby Pugin, the dedicated English spokesman for Got ...
