art roman

Art Roman, also known as Norman Romanesque, refers to the style of architecture and art that developed in England and parts of Western Europe during the 11th and 12th centuries, following the Norman Conquest. It features thick stone walls, rounded arches, small windows, and solid, massive structures, often seen in churches and castles. This style emphasizes durability and strength, with decorative Roman-inspired motifs. The Art Roman style marks a transitional phase between the earlier, simpler Anglo-Saxon traditions and the later Gothic style, influencing the design of medieval religious and civic buildings.
