Farm Houses, Manor Houses, Minor Chateaux and Small Churches From the Eleventh to the Sixteenth Centuries in Normandy, Brittany and Other Parts of France (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Farm Houses, Manor Houses, Minor Chateaux and Small Churches From the Eleventh to the Sixteenth Centuries in Normandy, Brittany and Other Parts of France
From the first beginnings of the Middle Ages in the last quarter of the X century; the grand style in architecture develops side by side with the minor style, as, under the new social conditions, must have been the case. Great abbeys, cathedrals, castles, reveal themselves, growing ever more complex and gigantic, but art is no longer the possession of a favoured few, it is now the heritage of all, and for one great monument there are scores of little churches, minor priories, small castles, with somewhat later, town houses, chapels, farms, manors and Chateaux in ever-increasing numbers and infallible charm. To build up a philosophy of Medieval art and a science of Gothic architecture on the foundations of only such strue tures as the abbeys of Caen, the cathedrals of Chartres, Notre Dame, Rheims, Amiens, Beauvais, to the total ignoring of the work and the people as a whole, is absurd, for the art of Medievalism was essen tially a communal art and to a degree never approached before. It was not the product of a few highly trained specialists expressing their own idiosyncracies, but the spontaneous and instinctive art of a whole people, or rather of groups of people acting under a common impulse, in accordance with varying conditions, to a common end.
