No way at the baroque time they used only chisel and hammer to.build the intricate stunning buildings. No way the baroque time was a hard time when people worked daily from 8 to 17 just to get basic needs like most people nowadays.

Arent the interior carvings particulary inspired by the Gothic style? Which evolved from the Romanesque architecture

@lockdownlearning2718 3 ай бұрын

Hi there, yes you're probably right with this, as the interior fittings are often much later than the actual fabric of the buildings themselves.

As someone who studies Byzantine architecture I find if really annoying when the clear byzantine (and Islamic) influences in Romanesque architecture are completely ignored.

@lockdownlearning2718 3 ай бұрын

Fair enough, though my video had to be fairly limited in its scope. And certainly, in the deepest West of Europe, there must have been relatively little contact with the East until the returning crusaders came back with new ideas to spread. There was certainly trade to some extent, but its tangible influence on society was patchy and sclerotic.

Genuinely beautiful architecture stopped c1940 and has descending to the bottom of the barrel with Brutalism and Modernism. Great architecture lifts the spirit.

@lockdownlearning2718 3 ай бұрын

There have certainly been some low points, you're right, but even Brutalism can be uplifting if set in the right context - so often big, bold architecture seemed to have been dumped into the old fabric of town centres, which is why they jar so much, reducing their own intrinsic value, as well as ruining the space around them!

I was hoping to see some greek and Roman architecture but didn't see any! Everything that was shown was Macedonian architecture! When the Romans wrote about the mind blowing amount of wealth that they took out of Macedonia, some people missed the part about the Macedonian architecture that was taken apart and transported back to Rome! Let alone all the art and precious metals and books! It doesn't require to much brain power to see that the ancient ruins in Greece had been laying around in ruins since they were destroyed! Which dates back to when the Macedonians abandoned their city of Hella due to the eruption of the Santorini island volcano around 1500bce to the new location of Pella further east! In other words what is Greece today was all Macedonia! The Greeks were called Grejci pronounced Greitsi meaning foreigners which is why King Philip II went and conquered them! They are still called that by the Macedonians of today! The Romans adopted the word from the Macedonians when they invaded Macedonia which is where the word Grecians came from! Including the identity of Greco Romans after they completed their Roman slavery contract and became citizens of Rome! Note that no other race that became a Roman citizen was given a special title! The Greeks (foreigners) were different to everyone else! They were much darker! Their Sub Saharan Ethiopian heritage stood out! Nothing that has been taught to be greek is actually greek! The history just doesn't make sense! What? They built these architecturally significant buildings and somehow forgot what they were for? So they didn't bother to rebuild them until they realised that they are generating tourism dollars? You can look at anywhere else around the world! The only ancient ruins that were not rebuilt and made into tourist attractions are the ones that are owned by a race of people who didn't build them! Didn't know what they are for! Exactly what you are looking at in Greece! The columns were used throughout the ancient Macedonian cities which were taken down and taken to Rome! It's quite possible that columns already existed throughout Italy! The similarity between the Etruscans and the Macedonians and the Carthaginians is uncanny! Extremely possible that they were all the same people! And they all were using columns in their architecture....

@@carlito6038 the Greeks didn't build anything anymore than the Romans did.... You see, had the Greeks actually been ancient and actually built stuff, when those ancient buildings in what's today known as Greece were destroyed, they would have rebuilt them! But here's the problem... You can't rebuild if you don't know how! And secondly, you won't rebuild if you don't know how and what those buildings were used for! The Greeks think that they were built as tourist attractions! What do you think would happen if the white house in America was destroyed by an earthquake? Would they rebuild? Of course they would! It's a building that serves a functional purpose! But what if it was destroyed by a volcanic eruption from a super volcano close by? I think that they would relocate the white house to a new and safe location! Just like the ancient Macedonians who built all those ancient buildings in what's today known as Greece, they had no choice but to abandon their ancient capital city of Hella to the new and safe location of Pella! There's no ancient Greece! The very word Greece is a relatively new invention.... As for the word greek, it means foreigner! Because the Greeks are not European! They were different! Even the Romans called them Greco Roman's even after they completed their slavery contract and became citizens of Rome! They were darker than everyone else! And they would be since they had a long journey migrating from Sub Saharan Ethiopia.....

Amazing video! I live in Park Slope in New York City, a 19th-century neighborhood which is chock full of neo-gothic architecture, mostly english neo-gothic. This video really helped me solidify my understanding of where different elements on these buildings come from-even if not originally 15th c. it's nice to know that the window I'm looking at *references* a 15th c. style. I also went to college at Princeton university, one of the best places to see collegiate gothic architecture, which is also specifically english, and often tudor.

Bravo! Your video is the most comprehensive one I have ever found in discussing gothic architecture. I learned so much watching it. You’re correct in saying that the English gothic style is unique in comparison with the gothic styles found in European architecture (especially churches and cathedrals) of the same time. Having had the opportunity to visit several European countries and seen many examples of this style of architecture I agree with you that English gothic is the most interesting of all. BTW I got Covid early on in the pandemic and now have Long Covid as a result. For quite some time my body was quite useless and I experienced brain fog too. I decided that while my body was one issue that I didn’t have a lot of control over, as a lifelong learner I could keep my mind active. As a result I decided to learn everything that I could about the Middle Ages in England beginning with the Battle of Hastings onward to the early Tudors. Gothic architecture has become an area of especially great interest to me. Having visited England twice before this captured my attention and imagination. My dream is to return to visit the great cathedrals and parish churches all over the country and to study them in much more depth. Thank you again for this wonderful video!

Do tell me what is the source music you are using. It sounds very live( not midi). Can't pinpoint who the composer is. Though it sounds neo-romantic. Maybe from 1890s and upwards.
