ROMANESQUE EUROPE

The term Romanesque (meaning "Romanlike") is used to designate a period lasting approximately 150 years, from 1050 to 1200, when buildings incorporated certain architectural elements that resemble ancient Roman architecture. While mural painting and manuscript illumination continued much as before, there is a resurgence of monumental stone sculpture.

The increase in trade and the growth of towns and cities in the Romanesque period began to replace feudalism.
