| description | The Church followed the doctrine of asceticism and distance from the use of precious materials in construction. The research addresses the concept of Romanesque art, the symbolic connotations, and meanings of Christianity in ecclesiastical architectural design by reviewing several images from different countries of Romanesque architectural elements such as church planning in the form of a Latin cross, which symbolizes the redemptithe on of Christ, and analyzing the reasons for the direction of most churches to the East according to the Gospel and in the interpretations of the early church fathers. Religious symbolism is limited not only to Romanesque art but also to Christian arts in general.The symbol is not time-bound and is not limited to a place. The symbol is signs and signs used within a particular culture, civilization, or religion, and how individuals deal with these connotations, whether culturally or religiously. These symbols are rich and study-rich and powerful in terms of impact on the recipient and viewer.Some symbols of Romanesque art are derived from ancient civilizations (civilizations of the Near and the Far East) and some Greek mythology, adding a new vision of his faith with the main aspects of religion. |
