Excerpt: ... reminiscences, having the ram's head at each angle, the horns, from which depends some drapery, giving a hint of the Ionic order. The fifth is remarkable for its corbelled abacus. The eighth resembles closely the angle capital of Kilpeck door The Kilpeck doorway, Influence of the old Celtic school of ornament, its symbolism described by Mr. G. K. Lewis. beneath. The eleventh, with serpents devouring men's heads, typifies the destruction of man by his evil passions. The thirteenth symbolises the Holy Spirit, and the last is a type of a very ornamental class of capitals common in the florid German Romanesque churches, at the commencement of the thirteenth century. The first doorway on the left, as we advance from the cloister arcade, is from the Church of Kilpeck, -in Herefordshire, a village about eight miles from Hereford. The present church was built probably about the year 1134, by Hugh son of William Fitz Norman, lord of Kilpeck castle. In that year, according to the register of the Abbey of Gloucester, the said baron gave St. David's Church, Kilpeck, and the Chapel of St. Mary de Castello "to God, St. Peter, and the monks of Gloucester." We observe here the evident influence of the old Celtic school of ornament, in its prominent lacertine forms; and the angle heads of the right-hand capitals bear a striking resemblance to some in the old Irish churches. The costume of the figures, interwoven with the foliage of the shaft on the left, is that of Anglo-Saxons or Danes, their long hair and beards being also characteristic of the islanders, in contradistinction to whom, the Normans cut their hair and shaved, or tried to shave, their faces. The left hands of these figures are made much larger than their right, a common custom in...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built for the Great Exhibition of 1851, the Crystal Palace originally graced London's Hyde Park with Joseph Paxton's remarkable geometric design and groundbreaking use of glass elements, prefiguring the modern movement in architecture. After the exhibition a group of bankers, railway directors, and men of influence moved the structure to a new site in south London, rebuilt it to an even grander scale, and set about its promotion as a "palace for the multitude." Here were exhibitions, concerts, and spectaculars to fill a splendid day out for Londoners of all classes and interests. Filled with plaster casts of great art treasures, life-sized models of dinosaurs, waterworks, and gardens, the Crystal Palace became a center of both education and entertainment from the Victorian era through its destruction by fire in1936.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1854, John Henry Newman, one of the foremost intellectual figures of the nineteenth century, was officially installed as the rector of the first Catholic university in Ireland. University Church (constructed in 1855–6) was Newman’s first objective when he agreed to the rectorship and it can be considered as a tangible manifestation of the idea behind the unprecedented Catholic university in Dublin – the posing of an erudite Catholic alternative to post-Enlightenment secularism and Protestant hegemony through a style-based analogy to the early Church. Despite physically embodying what Newman wished to achieve in and through his new university, this ‘early Christian' style church, which drew upon Roman and Byzantine basilicas, has received little attention. This book charts for the first time the significant place that the building occupies within the history of Victorian revivalist architecture. Niamh Bhalla explores the meaningful connection between the church’s context and the ambiguity of its ‘early Christian’ style. In the intersection of these two things, a significant monument was created. The study of University Church therefore provides an effective lens to understand more comprehensively the architectural revivalism that dominated the nineteenth century, particularly the first stirrings of basilican and Byzantine revivalist architectures in the British Isles. Praise for Newman University Church, Dublin 'Newman University Church, Dublin is an important contribution to the burgeoning study of historistic architecture of the nineteenth century. In studying the larger contexts of the church, Niamh Bhalla illumines the aspirations of Cardinal Newman for the university that he directed and Catholicism in Ireland and the United Kingdom.' Robert S. Nelson, Yale University 'A riveting analysis of the University Church and its intellectual background. Niamh Bhalla steers us effortlessly through the many strands of architectural and religious thought that lie behind Newman’s church, while revealing its seminal place in the history of the Byzantine revival.' Roger Stalley, Trinity College Dublin
