Moreover, a substan- tial number of contemporary scholarly works have erased the thin line between material evidence and its interpretation. As a consequence, the architectural remains of Polish Romanesque edifices are often considered the basis for wider comparative research. Meanwhile, fragmentarily preserved structures of Romanesque buildings have allowed scholars to conduct research on their origins and models, but they have rarely provided enough information for spatial recon- structions of them. This means that one might investigate the process of transposing patterns from the Holy Roman Empire to Poland instead of the influence of Polish masons’ lodges on each other. Therefore, this paper has two aims.

These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours.

  • Definition[Edit]

    Definition[Edit]

    Romanesque architecture is an architectural style of medieval Europe characterized by semi-circular arches. There is no consensus for the beginning date of the Romanesque architecture, with proposals ranging from the 6th to the 10th century. It developed in the 12th century into the Gothic style, marked by pointed arches. Examples of Romanesque architecture can be found across the continent, making it the first pan-European architectural style since Imperial Roman Architecture. The Romanesque style in England is traditionally referred to as Norman architecture. Combining features of ancient Roman and Byzantine buildings and other local traditions, Romanesque architecture is known by its massive quality, thick walls, round arches, sturdy piers, groin vaults, large towers and decorative arcading. Each building has clearly defined forms, frequently of very regular, symmetrical plan; the overall appearance is one of simplicity when compared with the Gothic buildings that were to follow. The style can be identified right across Europe, despite regional characteristics and different materials. Many castles were built during this period, but they are greatly outnumbered by churches. The most significant are the great abbeychurches, many of which are still standing, more or less complete and frequently in use.[1] The enormous quantity of churches built in the Romanesque period was succeeded by the still busier period of Gothic architecture, which partly or entirely rebuilt most Romanesque churches in prosperous areas like England and Portugal. The largest groups of Romanesque survivors are in areas that were less prosperous in subsequent periods, including parts of southern France, northern Spain and rural Italy. Survivals of unfortified Romanesque secular houses and palaces, and the domestic quarters of monasteries are far rarer, but these used and adapted the features found in church buildings, on a domestic scale.

The three books men- tioned above are subtitled »The architectural work today«; in other words, they are exclusively about buildings that still exist. This is also true of the present selection. The question whether this se- lection and limitation to Berlin and Potsdam is representative of the work of the three architects can clearly be answered in the affirmative. For Persius this question does not even arise, because during his short life he worked almost exclusively in Potsdam and its immediate vicinity – he was the »King’s architect«. Stüler’s Distributors work is found in a region extending from Cologne on the Rhine to Masuria, with some important buildings in Stockholm and Brockhaus Commission Budapest as well. About a quarter of his works can be found in Kreidlerstraße 9 Potsdam and Berlin, where Stüler, too, was the »King’s architect«.

Eighteenth-century Berlin was considered the “Golden Age” for music making (corresponding with the coronation of Frederick II, himself a musician), and many important musical figures have lived and worked in this dynamic city, including Johann Joachim Quantz, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Felix Mendelssohn, and Richard Strauss. In the 20th century, the fall of the wall turned Berlin into one of the most musically endowed places in the world—orchestras previously divided between east and west were now merged under the banner of one, unified city. This special program thoroughly immerses travelers in Berlin’s musical heritage, history, and artistic ambitions with a six-night exploration of the city combined with the opportunity to enjoy three private performances by superbly talented local chamber musicians, played at historic venues. Carefully-crafted, these personalized concerts will explore the themes of Baroque, classical, and romantic musical styles. While evenings will be spent appreciating Berlin’s classical music traditions, daytime excursions will introduce you to this splendid city, where history greets Demetrios Karamintzas and Kim Barbier perform a visitors at every turn. Delve into the city’s cultural institutions, including the famed private concert Pergamon Museum, with its unrivaled collection of ancient art and architecture, Cover: Brandenburg Gate and the Gemaldegalerie, home to one of the world’s greatest collections of 13th- to 18th-century European paintings. Berlin’s Jewish Museum, Cold War-era Brandenburg Gate, and Checkpoint Charlie all speak to the city’s tumultuous 20th-century history.

Jahrhunderts in Deutschland. Künstler wie Antonio Canova und Bertel Thorvaldsen, Johann Gottfried Schadow und Christian Daniel Rauch, Auguste Rodin oder Aristide Maillol sind mit wichtigen Werken in der Schausammlung der Alten Nationalgalerie vertreten. Unweit der Museumsinsel steht die Friedrichswerdersche Kirche von Karl Friedrich Schinkel, die von 1987 bis 2012 als Dependance der Nationalgalerie vor allem Werke der Berliner Bildhauerei zwischen 1800 und 1850 im Umkreis Schinkels präsentierte. Die Berliner Bildhauerschule besaß im 19. Jahrhundert deutsch­­landweite Bedeutung und reicht in ihren Ausläufern bis in die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Seit dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts wuchs in der preußischen Hauptstadt eine erfolgreiche Generation von Bildhauern heran, die vor allem mit zwei Namen verbunden ist: Johann Gottfried Schadow und Christian Daniel Rauch. Sowohl Schadow (1764 bis 1850) als auch Rauch (1777 bis 1857) hatten sich nach ersten Berliner Lehrjahren in Rom ausgebildet, wo sie mit den dortigen antiken Bildwerken ebenso vertraut wurden wie mit den neuesten Strömungen der frühklassizistischen Bildhauerkunst.
