Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedrals and Churches of Rome and Southern Italy At Rome, the seven great churches made by Constantine, which still retain the name of basilica in an especial manner, were probably all law courts originally, and pre served their old arrangements, which served as types for others, and came to be considered the usual arrangement of a church. On the full emancipation of the Christians at the be ginning of the fourth century, under Constantine, they naturally looked around them to see which of the ancient Classic buildings they could adopt or imitate in the new buildings that they required. The temples were utterly unsuited, if not considered unworthy for the purpose; but in the basilica, or halls of justice attached to the palaces, they found what they wanted - structures of a commodious, useful character, and less pretentious than the buildings which had been devoted to Pagan rites. The Christians even retained the name as well as the general form, and imitated many of the details of the halls.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedrals and Churches of Northern Italy Some of the earliest buildings erected for the purposes of worship are to be found in Rome, the native soil of Christianity. I say some only, for under Constantine, in whose reign the Christians first enjoyed peace, Churches were erected simultaneously in Rome, Constantinople and Jerusalem. These were, generally Speaking, similar in plan and arrangement. During the first three centuries of the Christian era churches can scarcely be said to have existed. The ordinary places of wor ship Oi the early Christians were confined to catacombs and other secret places.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cathedral Cities of Italy N uovo, and the churches of San Vitale and Sant' Apollinare in Classe. Venice, rising to power and splendour when Ravenna fell on evil days, secured the heritage of her glory, and carried on the Byzantine tradition in the cathedral of Torcello, the church of San Zaccaria, and above all in the incomparable San Marco. At Pisa the Roman esque evolution culminated in a unique group of buildings, famous throughout the world, while at Milan and in the surrounding district the local type of Romanesque became suffi ciently individual to figure as an independent style under the title of Lombard architecture. Of this subdivision of Romanesque the prototype seems to have been the great church of Sant' Ambrogio at Milan, while San Michele at Pavia is another early and important example. Italy's essays in Gothic are scattered throughout the length and breadth of the peninsula, from Como to Naples. The Broletto at Como and the monas tic buildings at Vercelli are said to have inaugu rated them. Good examples are the cathedral at Como, the church of San Francesco at Assisi, the cathedral of Orvieto, San Petronio and San Fran cesco at Bologna, and San Lorenzo at Genoa.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedral of Orvieto: Sixty-Four Illustrations and d104 Later on, in 1309, he was recalled to Orvieto to assume the direction of the works. It was at this time that he became possessed of the genial idea of a charming and majestic facade instead of the one already begun in black and white bands like the interior side walls. The facade. This miracle of art seems a huge page painted in miniature, whereon in marble and mosaic shines forth the whole story of the Christian religion. The harmony of the mosaic pictures with their golden backgrounds and the architecture, whether of the whole or the parts, and the fine mingling of horizontal and vertical lines, make it one of the most beautiful creations of the Italian Gothic. Of the various designs which were preserved in the Archives of the Works up to 1825, only three remain today, two being facade plans and one a variation of the central rose.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...compartments, in the flat, pilaster-like form of the bearing member of the transverse rib of the vaulting, and in the section of that rib itself in the treatment of the banded imposts, which do duty as capitals at the level of the springing of the pier arches, but which are wholly different from pure Gothic capitals, and in their successive ranges of acanthus-like leaves recall the Corinthian of older days. Then, by repetition of the same class of enriched banded imposts at the springing of the vaulting ribs, the effect given is of a secondary stage of classic pilasters, placed upon, though without intervening base, the lower impost of the pier of the nave arcade. Again, in the plain, oblong-sectioned pier of division between the aisle and the chapels, with its quasi-cornice as imposts, and absence of edge-moulding to those arches, it is as if the architect had forgotten for the nonce the role he had been striving to play, and had in forgetfulness relapsed to the classic character with which he was really more familiar. There is no straining after height, no feeling of growth in the structure, no subdivision into ascending stages of arcade, triforium and clerestory, no contrast by string-courses to enhance the value of what height there is, no delicate proportioning of the several capitals to the scale of the members they have to support. But, in lieu thereof, we perceive a contentment with the breadth of the separate features which gives a painfully disconnected character to the whole. The glories of St. Petronio at Bologna are, unquestionably, its stained glass and the screens of varied style which those twentytwo chapels enclose. The former is invested with a high interest from the very fine examples of the several periods which it...
