Romanesque Art

The Virgin and Child in Majesty and the Adoration of the Magi,  circa 1100
Romanesque Art began around 1000 AD in Western Europe. It eventually tapered off in the 1200s, when the Gothic style became dominant. It features similar styles to Ancient Roman architecture, and is characterized by barrel vaults and leaf decoration.
