DescriptionChristian Europe expected the world to end in the year 1000. The passing of that fateful year was followed by a century and a half of church building, with its attendant painting and sculpture, on a scale and of a sophistication not seen since the disintegration of the Roman Empire. Early historians thought this represented a revival of the art of the Western Roman Empire and called it "Romanesque." But its true source lay further east--in the Byzantine Empire, which flourished, economically and artistically, while Western Europe lay under the thrall of the Dark Ages. Monks, pilgrims, craftsmen and crusaders carried into Europe the visual language and architectural forms which had their origins in early Christian communities in the Near East, especially Syria.
