High Middle Ages Images

White Tower the oldest portion of the compound.

1.Tower of London: London, United Kingdom

The Tower is actually a compound of structures built through the ages for varying purposes, mostly as expressions of royal power. The oldest is the White Tower, begun by William the Conqueror in 1078 to keep London's native Saxon population in check. Later rulers added other towers, walls, and fortified gates, until the buildings became like a small town within a city. Until the reign of James I (beginning in 1603), the Tower was also a royal residence. But above all, it was a prison for important captives.

The Tower, besides being a royal palace, a fortress, and a prison, was also an armory, a treasury, a menagerie, and, in 1675, an astronomical observatory.

2. Ponte Vecchio: Florence, Italy

The oldest and most famous bridge across the Arno, the Ponte Vecchio we know today was built in 1345 by Taddeo Gaddi to replace an earlier version. The characteristic overhanging shops have lined the bridge since at least the 12th century.

3. Book of Kells 

Before mechanical printing every stage in the creation of a medieval book required intensive labor, sometimes involving the collaboration of entire workshops. Parchment for the pages had to be made from the dried hides of animals, cut to size and sewn into quires; inks had to be mixed, pens prepared, and the pages ruled for lettering. A scribe copied the text from an established edition, and artists might then embellish it with illustrations, decorated initials, and ornament in the margins. The most lavish medieval books were bound in covers set with enamels, jewels, and ivory carvings.

The Book of Kells is one of the most famous of these books.  The book illustrates the four Gospels using  Christian iconography and insular art (island - British Isle art).  The book is written in Latin.

4. Bayeux Tapestry

Is a long embroidered cloth that depicts the events that led to the Norman conquest of England and the Battle of Hastings.  It is annotated in Latin.

5. Notre Dame: Paris, France

Is considered the finest example of French Gothic Architecture.  This type of architecture is characterized by pointed arches, rib vaulting, lightness (vast expansive stained glass windows), soaring spaces (height made possible by flying buttresses), and decorative sculptures.  

11. Westminster Abbey: London, United Kingdom

Westminster is a gothic church and the traditional location of coronation and burial of English and later British royals. It is also known as Poet's Corner because Chaucer was buried there because he was master of the Kings Works. Other famous authors have been buried or memorialized alongside Chaucer. 

6. St. Basil Cathedral: Moscow, Russia

St. Basil Cathedral is located in Moscow, Russia. This cathedral was built during the reign of Ivan IV in the Red Square to commemorate the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan.  It is the most famous site at Red Square.  

7. Basilica di Santa Maria del Flore; Florence, Italy

Referred to as Il Duomo the structure's dome was one of the largest in the world until recent years. It remains the largest brick dome ever built. The cathedral is known for its Renaissance dome designed by Brunelleschi. This is the seat of the Archbishop of Florence.

Images to know - Asian World and Early Middle Ages

2. Christ Pantocrator - Saint Catherine's Monastery

The oldest known image of Christ Pantocrator meaning "almighty."  It is located in Saint Catherine's Monastery on the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.  The two different facial expressions on either side emphasize Christ's dual nature as fully God and fully human.

3. Saint Catherine's Monastery: Sinai Peninsula, Egypt

There are claims that this is the oldest working Christian monastery in the world. Is the location of the oldest known image of Christ. (Another monastery across the Red Sea in the desert south of Cairo claims the same thing. :-)...)

4. Hagia Sophia: Istanbul, Turkey

This was the seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople and religious focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly 1,000 years. It was built on the orders of Emperor Justinian and is the epitome of Byzantine architecture. It was later on a mosque during the Ottoman Empire and has been converted into a museum. The city's name has also been changed to Istanbul.

5. Stonehenge: Wiltshire, United Kingdom

Its original purpose is unclear to us, but some have speculated that it was a) a temple made for the worship of ancient earth deities b) an astronomical observatory for marking significant events on the prehistoric calendar c) a sacred site for the burial of high-ranking citizens from the societies of long ago.  Construction of the monument has been attributed to many ancient peoples throughout the years: Druids, people of the neolithic period, and Beaker Folk (named thus for their pottery work).  The inner circle (bluestones weighing 4 tons) was built about 2,000 BC and the outer circle (giant sarsen stones weighing up to 50 tons) added later on, possibly by another people.  

6. Machu Picchu: Urubamba Valley, Peru

Machu Picchu, which means "old mountain," is located halfway up the Andes Plateau—in the Amazon jungle and above the Urubamba River. Originally a 15th century Incan settlement, the magnificent city was "lost" for three centuries, then rediscovered in 1911.  One of the New 7 Wonders of the World.

7. Chichen Itza: Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

Chichen Itza is located in Mexico in the Yucatan Peninsula. It is the location of Mayan ruins. The best known construction on the site is Kukulcan's Pyramid, El Castillo, a square-based, stepped pyramid approximately 75 feet high. This pyramid was built for astronomical purposes and during the vernal equinox (March 20) and the autumnal equinox (September 21) at about 3 P.M.. the sunlight bathes the western balustrade of the pyramid's main stairway. This causes seven isosceles triangles to form imitating the body of a serpent 37 yards long that creeps downwards until it joins the huge serpent's head carved in stone at the bottom of the stairway.

8. Wooden Statue of Bodhisattva; Song Dynasty 

This is one of many Song Dynasty wooden statues of Bodhisattva, meaning "enlightened existence."

WARNING : I do not want anyone to say that the buildings look the same... obviously they have a similar architectural style, but in the same spirit that I expect you to distinguish between Westminster and Notre Dame (from the frontal view) I expect you to find distinguishing features within these structures.  Enjoy. 

Sorry so late Madison I just got home... :)
