Anglo Saxon Landscapes During the Norman Conquest

Anglo Saxon Landscapes During the Norman Conquest The Anglo-Saxon way of life was significantly changed by the appearance of the Normans in the later eleventh century. Architecture and horticulture were abilities that the Normans excelled in, trumping that of the Anglo-Saxons at the time of the occupation. But before concentrating on home-life or having the occasion to contemplate domestic architecture or decoration, the Normans had to subjugate an entire society. Monasteries and castles served separate functions, so while monasteries were enormous stone structures assembled in only the most fruitful, wide dales, castles were set upon blustery knolls where the people focused on learning offensive and defensive techniques. The serene method of gardening was unrealistic in these bleak bastions. Berkeley Castle, maybe the most pristine model of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture, still exists now. The keep is said to date from the time of William the Conqueror. A large terrace meant for strolling and as a way to stop enemies from mining under the walls runs about the building. One of these terraces, a charming bowling green, is covered grass and flanked by an old yew hedge trimmed into the shape of crude battlements.

Archaic Greek Artwork: Garden Statuary

The initial freestanding statuary was improved by the Archaic Greeks, a distinguished success since until then the sole carvings in existence were reliefs cut into walls and pillars. Kouros figures, sculptures of young, attractive male or female (kore) Greeks, made up the bulk of the sculptures. Considered by Greeks to represent splendour, the kouroi were shaped into stiff, forward facing positions with one foot outstretched, and the male statues were always nude, muscular, and fit. Life-sized versions of the kouroi appeared beginning in 650 BC. The Archaic period was an extraordinary time of change for the Greeks as they grew into new modes of government, formed fresh expressions of art, and attained insights of the people and cultures outside of Greece. The Arcadian battles, the Spartan penetration of Samos, and other wars between city-states are instances of the kinds of clashes that arose commonly, which is consistent with other times of historical transformation.

The young Bernini received praise from Popes and influential artists alike, and was an exceptional employee. He was originally recognized for his sculpture. Most famously in the Vatican, he used a base of experience in historical Greek architecture and melded it seamlessly with Roman marble. Although a variety of artists impacted his artistic endeavors, Michelangelo influenced him the most.
