I remember Chester, Exeter, Worchester, Norwich, of course London. I loved the Churches of East Anglia with those terrific angels ceilings...so many memories of good traveling times. I have a Facebook page but it is only for medieval art and buildings, no personal stuff.
I also adore Romanesque buildings and bridges...one phrase that stuck in my mind comes from Pere
Angelico Surchamp on the difference between Romanesque and Gothic: “the Romanesque induces internal experience and reflection; Gothic induces external reflection. Gothic is the demonstration of the belief of spirituality while Romanesque is the experience of that belief.”
Next time I watch the video, I’ll make sure to see you in the background of those cathedrals in my mind’s eye. I can’t get to Facebook. A large DARN! Never heard that distinction. Wonderful.
Usually a video brings back memories of my art history classes, and I did study medieval architecture. But I’m still having trouble remembering much except the statues on the outside of the buildings. One reason I didn’t continue in art history was my instructor’s description of researching cathedral sculptors by reading the stone quarry payroll reports. And then I go off and voluntarily research how the tongue moves in the mouth when reciting poetry aloud. Whodah guessed?
