It was successively overrun +by the Greeks, Carthaginians, and Romans, +and later, after the Christian era, +again successively by the Byzantines, the +Moors, and the Normans. Almost all of +the architectural remains of the older +periods belong to the time of the Greeks, +as neither the Carthaginians nor Romans +left much to show for their occupation +of the island. With the exception of +occasional ruined examples surviving +from the time of the Dorian Greeks who +colonized Sicily, most of the monuments +now existing belong to the Byzantine, +Saracenic, and Romanesque periods. +As would be natural to expect, the latter +influences are not clearly separable +one from another either in time or in +locality. They overlap in all directions; +but in general the Byzantine, which was +the earliest and most powerful element, +is found more strongly marked, and more +frequently on the east coast. It however +forms the groundwork and is the main +ingredient of all that follows. The Saracenic +work, which succeeds the Byzantine +in date, found a stronger foothold in +the South, on the coast nearest Africa; +and the influence of the Normans appears +in the North.</p> + +<p>Every new race of masters in this frequent +recurrence of conquest found the +island already occupied by a very numerous +population of extremely various +origin. The newcomers could do no +more than add their own forms to those +previously in use; the consequence being +in every case a mixed style, containing +elements derived from every portion of +the inhabitants.</p> + +<p>Palermo, being on the northern coast, +has felt the Norman influence strongly. +Its architecture is principally Romanesque +in form, with a generous admixture +of Byzantine and Saracenic motives in +detail and decoration. Exuberance of +detail and wealth of color are the rule.</p> + +<p>Under the Norman conquerors the Sicilians +built as they were directed. Their +arts and their civilization were superior +to those of their masters, and the Normans +were apparently willing to make use of +this superiority, and merely adapted the +forms of decoration and methods of +construction which they found here in use +to their own needs and purposes. The +polychromatic decoration of the buildings +of this neighborhood, such as the interiors +of the Capella Palatina and the cathedral +at Monreale, ranks among the most successful, +if it be not the most successful, +work of its class now in existence. It is +thoroughly Oriental in character, although +applied to buildings intended for Roman +ritual. On account of the great superiority +of the Moors in art and civilization, not<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_37" id="Page_37">[37]</a></span> +only to the Normans but to all the other +inhabitants at the time of the Norman +conquest, in the eleventh century, many +of the buildings of this period show very +little Norman influence. In fact the Oriental +character is so extreme in some +instances, such as the church of San Giovanni +degli Eremiti, that there is very +little to suggest that it was Norman and +intended for Norman uses.</p> + +<p>The village of Monreale is situated on +the steep mountain-side about five miles +to the west of and overlooking the city +of Palermo. The cathedral and the +cloister-adjoining it on the south were +both parts of a Benedictine convent, +which is now mostly in ruins. They +were erected by King William the Second, +between the years 1174 and 1182, and +richly endowed by him. The plan of the +cathedral is that of a basilica.</p> + +<p>The famous cloister, with coupled +columns and clusters of four in the corners, +and with a charming fountain and +a separate little square of cloisters around +it, as it were, in one corner of the open +space, is one of the most interesting +relics of Palermo. In arrangement it +follows the style universal in the countries +bordering on the Mediterranean, +that is, consisting of a pointed arcade +supported by small but elegant columns +of Corinthian design, grouped in pairs; +while in the North, in England, France, +and Germany, a cloister is formed of a +series of unglazed windows.</p> + +<p>The columns surrounding the fountain, +which unfortunately cannot be seen in +the general view given in Plate XX., show +the richest decoration. The shafts are +either plain, rusticated, or covered with +patterns executed in relief or mosaic.</p> + +<p>There appears to be some doubt as to +the date of this work, as the columns +have evidently been inserted since the +arches which spring from them were +built. The discrepancy will be seen in +Plates XVIII., XIX., and XX. The disproportion +of the dainty columns and +capitals to the heavy arches which are +entirely in keeping with the architecture +of the rest of the cathedral, but which +manifestly do not fit the columns, leads +to the conclusion that the columns were +a later addition, although probably +inserted soon after the other work was +completed.</p> + + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 240px;"> +<a href="images/plate17.jpg"> +<img src="images/plate17tn.jpg" width="176" height="261" alt="XVII.

Governed alternately +by Greek and by Persian, it had received +a strong Oriental character from +the Eastern nations, and had added to +the Greek subtlety and delicacy of expression +the Oriental love of detail. When +converted by Constantine into New +Rome, it became a perfect treasure +house of Eastern and Grecian art. The +Byzantine work, which spread over the +East in the sixth, seventh, and eighth<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_39" id="Page_39">[39]</a></span> +centuries, is therefore a union of the +refinement of the Greek, the desire for +color and detail of the Oriental, and the +vigor of constructional invention and +conception of mass and grandeur of +the Roman. A portion of it was transplanted +to Ravenna during Justinian's +reign, and there is a glorious afterglow in +the Venetian splendor of the tenth and +eleventh centuries. The three great centres +of Byzantine art work are Constantinople, +Ravenna, and Venice; and the +three most noted examples, the churches +of Sta. Sophia, S. Vitale, and St. Mark's. +Apart from these, the cathedral at Monreale, +and the Capella Palatina in Palermo, +Sicily, represent a variation from the Byzantine +type affected by Moslem design.</p> + +<p>From the time of Constantine to that +of Justinian, one hundred and fifty years, +is a period of formation. Under the +reign of Justinian, Byzantine art reached +its height. Prominent among its factors +is the use of mosaic, the influence of +which spread insidiously through its +whole system, until in the later work the +cornices and entablatures of classic design +withered into long thin lines of +moulding; projections which disturbed +the effect of color by the shadows they +cast were discarded; voussoirs disappeared +under a mosaic veil; surfaces +resolved themselves into broad expanses +of infinitely varied tones, bounded by +narrow but strongly contrasting bands and +borders of marble. All ornament had +resolved itself into surface decoration, or +as nearly that as possible.</p> + +<p>In 539 Belisarius took Ravenna in the +name of the Emperor Justinian, and to +celebrate this event Justinian decided to +erect a magnificent monument in the +city. He chose to replace, by a more +important structure, the small church +dedicated to S. Vitale, and built by Néon +in the reign of Theodoric.</p> + +<p>The wonderful basilica of Sta. Sophia +at Constantinople was just completed, and +the novelty of its plan and immense effect +Produced by its dome, a method of construction +entirely novel in Roman architecture, +doubtless excited the admiration +of the Emperor and led to the adoption +of a similar plan for S. Vitale. S. Vitale +18 by no means a copy of Sta. Sophia, but +unquestionably was strongly influenced +by it.</p> + +<p>It was founded in 540, and consecrated +in 547. It is octagonal in plan, with an +inner structure of eight large piers, +arranged in a circle, connected by arches +which support a pendentive dome. Following +the custom then in vogue, its interior +is incrusted throughout with elaborate +mosaics in a wealth of color. The +most elaborate design and richest color +is used in the apse, which was the centre +of display in all Byzantine churches.</p> + + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 240px;"> +<a href="images/plate21.jpg"> +<img src="images/plate21tn.jpg" width="184" height="251" alt="XXI.

The contributions of the +present year to this department of an +architect's library are especially notable. +Of the catalogues which have come to +our notice, that of the architectural +exhibition at the Academy of Fine Arts +in Philadelphia is in point of illustration +the most complete, and shows the +most judicious selection of material. In +this there was a marked endeavor to give +as large a number of geometrical drawings +as possible, and it is unquestionably +a move in the right direction. The desire +for the picturesque, which has been +until recently the ruling motive with +American architects, has had its day, and +trained and conservative designers have +gradually taken the place of the pyrotechnic +draughtsman of the past. The +change has been working gradually to be +sure, but scale and detail drawings both +in the exhibitions, which of necessity are +intended to appeal to a more or less +popular taste, and in the professional +journals are from year to year growing +more prominent. In their recognition +of this tendency, the Philadelphia catalogue +committee are to be highly commended.</p> + +<p>The same trend may be observed in a +little less marked degree in the Architectural +League catalogue. The exhibitions +of the League have for years been +the models by which minor exhibitions +have been ruled, and its catalogue has +been a guide to all others. As usual there +is a great deal of valuable and interesting +material presented in its illustrations.</p> + +<p>The Catalogue Committee of the St. +Louis exhibition have made a departure +from the general rule, and increased the +size of their pages, allowing the use of +much larger plates. In some of the +drawings this is a distinct advantage, and +their catalogue gains in consequence.</p> + +<p>The Boston Society of Architects and +the Boston Architectural Club will hold +a joint exhibition in April, and their +catalogue now promises to be a very +creditable publication.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>In the recent draughtsmen's competitions, +Boston has been more than ordinarily +fortunate. The medal in both the +competitions of the Society of Beaux-Arts +Architects has come to Mr. F. M. +Mann, of the Massachusetts Institute of +Technology, and a number of the first and +second mentions have also come to Boston. +In fact, nearly if not quite all the +designs sent from Boston have received +some recognition at the hands of the jury.</p> + +<p>A complimentary dinner has been arranged +for by the M. I. T. Architectural +Society in honor of the winners of the last +competition.</p> + +<p>The annual competition for the Architectural +League gold medal, which was +awarded to Mr. A. H. Wright, also resulted +in adding another victory to the +credit of Boston draughtsmen.</p> + +<p>Interest in these contests is not purely +local, however, for Philadelphia, Rochester, +and several other cities have furnished +contributors and shared the honors. Mr. +H. L. Duhring, Jr., of Philadelphia, was +awarded the Architectural League silver +medal.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>Fulfilling the bequest of the late Arthur +Rotch leaving $5,000 to the Boston +Architectural Club, this sum has been paid +to the treasurer of the club by the executors +of Mr. Rotch's estate. The income +only is to be expended in the purchase +of books to form an architectural library. +This is only one of many indications +that the architectural clubs of the country +are recognized as permanent and established +institutions. With the spread of +this feeling their influence will grow in +importance, and as the working foundation +of the profession they deserve all +the encouragement that can be given +them.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_43" id="Page_43">[43]</a></span></p> +<h2><a name="The_Cleveland" id="The_Cleveland"></a>The Cleveland +Architectural Club.</h2> + + +<p>There are none of the now numerous +architectural associations of the country +which can more deservingly congratulate +themselves upon the early success of their +first few months of existence than the +Cleveland Architectural Club, which was +organized on the 22d of last November, +and is now only four months old.</p> + +<p>Its original members, fifteen in number, +met in the office of Messrs. Coburn +& Barnum, and here the meetings for +the few succeeding weeks were also +held.</p> + +<p>It soon became evident that a wide +field of usefulness was open to the new +organization, and a permanent location of +its own would become necessary. Such +a location in the heart of the city, with +all necessary conveniences, was found in +the Garfield Building, and the new rooms +have been properly fitted up for the use of +the club.</p> + +<p>With the purpose of making the influence +of its work as far-reaching as possible, +the restriction which has commonly +been applied in other similar clubs, +limiting the membership to architects and +draughtsmen, or at least limiting the +number of non professional members, has +been entirely done away with, and any one +who may have an interest in architecture +or the "allied arts" is eligible for +membership. What will be the effect of this +arrangement it remains for the future to +decide. In some of the older clubs it +has been found by experience that the +professional membership was overbalanced +and its work impeded by a too large +non-professional element, and the professional +lines have been closely drawn in consequence.</p> + +<p>The work thus far entered upon is +modest but of an important character, +and if pursued with the earnest purpose +which has marked the first few months +will lead to a fruitful future.</p> + +<p>Of the monthly competitions in design +the one for March, the subject of which +is a scheme for the public buildings of +Cleveland, has attracted considerable +attention, and the public exhibition of +the designs will doubtless lead to profitable +discussion outside the club. A plan +which we believe has not been adopted +here, but which has been the means of +awakening considerable interest in the +study of design in the clubs of New York, +Philadelphia, and Boston, might possibly +be followed to advantage. In the January +number of <span class="smcap">The Brochure Series</span> the +competitions instituted by the Society of +Beaux-Arts Architects were outlined. Of +course with all the numberless calls upon +his time, the average draughtsman does +not have the leisure to properly study and +render the drawings required in these +competitions; but by the joining of forces +four or five, or even more, men can +easily work out such a problem, and in +some respects the advantages to be +gained are greater than is the case when +an individual works alone. Several large +tables can be provided in the club-rooms, +and the problem worked up as a club design. +This plan has been followed in the +Boston Architectural Club with great +success.</p> + +<p>The study of academic design is of the +utmost importance to the young architect, +and unfortunately the opportunities for +such study in the usual routine of office +practice are not very extensive. The +working out each season of two or three +such designs as those required by the +Beaux-Arts Society will be of material +benefit to the older men who are already +familiar with the academic methods of +design, and of much more benefit to the +younger men whose opportunities have +been more limited. The criticism and +suggestion of the older men in the profession +is easily obtained while the work +is in progress. Nothing could be better +calculated to foster a certain <i>esprit de +corps</i>, which is certainly a desirable quality +in any club.</p> + +<p>The personnel of the Cleveland Club +is as follows: Benj.

R. Lethaby and Harold Swainson. +Macmillan & Co. 1894. 307 +pages with illustrations. $6.50.</p> + +<p>It seems especially fitting that a notice +of Mr. Lethaby's work on the church of +Sta. Sophia, or as he calls it Sancta +Sophia, should appear in the same issue +with the beautiful Byzantine capitals from +Ravenna, which we publish this month. +In the description of this work from +Ravenna, on another page, the connection +is pointed out between Constantinople, +the capital of the Roman Empire +in the East, and Ravenna, then the +Western capital.</p> + +<p>The work before us is an important +and exhaustive study, both architecturally +and historically, of this beautiful building, +which Mr. Van Brunt has called "the +central building of the world." Nothing +has ever been done in enriching interiors +which approaches in splendor the best +work of the Byzantine builders, and Sta. +Sophia, by general consent, is the most +beautiful of the Byzantine churches; +but its exterior is by no means without +faults, and its claim for distinction would +fall if supported only by this.</p> + +<p>The book takes up in order the history +of Sta. Sophia, with citations of various +authorities for statements concerning its +early history; accounts of the various +vicissitudes through which it has passed; +its construction, lighting, details, mosaics, +etc., all carefully and conscientiously +described, the descriptive portion based +on a painstaking study of the building +itself. The illustrations which accompany +the text are numerous and excellent; +there is no attempt to furnish illustrations +at large scale, which are already +accessible in Salzenberg.</p> + +<p>The monumental work of Salzenberg, +which has been the architect's reference +book for Sta. Sophia, is referred to and +largely quoted from.</p> + +<p>The two articles by Mr. Henry Van +Brunt and Prof. A. D. F. Hamlin, published +in <i>The Architectural Review</i>, Vol. II., +No. 5, and Vol. III., No. 2, will be found +of considerable interest in connection +with Mr. Lethaby's book.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="Club_Notes" id="Club_Notes"></a>Club Notes.</h2> + + +<p>When in our January issue it was announced +that we should devote a certain +amount of space and attention to the +architectural clubs of the country, we had +no idea of the extent to which these +organizations had developed within the +last year or two. The work of a few of +the older clubs was familiar to us, but it +is a surprise to find that nearly every city +of importance in the United States has +an active and flourishing society of +draughtsmen and young architects. It +may be well to suggest right here that any +city which has not such an organization +should look to its laurels.</p> + +<p>Among the newer accessions to the +ranks is the Baltimore Architectural +Club. It is fortunate in being able to +start with a strong, if limited membership. +It is holding weekly meetings, +and has already instituted a series of +monthly competitions in design, for which +a small cash prize is offered.</p> + +<p>The list of officers is the best evidence +of its seriousness of purpose and ability +to accomplish an unlimited amount of +good work.</p> + +<p>The officers are: president, J. E. +Sperry; vice-president, J. B. N. Wyatt; +secretary, Louis E. Simon; and E. F. +Baldwin, George Worthington, J. W. Case, +and W. G. Keimig, together with the +officers, constitute the Board of Control.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>The Sketch Club of New York is following +the lead of the Chicago Architectural +Club in delegating to one or two +of its members the office of Entertainment +Committee for one evening, when these +members act as hosts and provide for the +entertainment of the club. This plan has +resulted in an increased attendance at the +meetings, and is giving general satisfaction.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>An outgrowth of the Boston Architectural +Club which has shown a great deal +of vitality and in many ways justified its +claim to a separate existence is the little +club of twelve members known as the +"P. D's." Without organization and with +only the mutual desire for a sort of Bohemian +companionship, these congenial +spirits have worked together and amused +each other for the last two years.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_47" id="Page_47">[47]</a></span> +They are all members of the Architectural +Club and among its most zealous +supporters.</p> + +<p>The mystic monogram of the club, the +initials P and D contained in a circle, +which was placed on their designs submitted +in the two Beaux-Arts competitions, +has probably set more than one interested +person guessing its significance. +Its primary meaning is said to be "Poor +Draughtsmen."</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>Preceding the last regular meeting of +the Philadelphia T Square Club an informal +supper was held at "Bohemia," a +charming rathsheller recently designed +by Wilson Eyre, Jr., a member of the executive +committee of the club. The president, +Walter Cope, presided, while the +fifty-four members present lubricated their +supper with 158 steins of old musty ale.</p> + +<p>The meeting which followed was of +unusual interest, as the double programme +brought forth a great many designs.</p> + +<p>In the competition for a chapel located +on the terrace of a wealthy gentleman's +country house, Albert Kelsey, who submitted +two sets of drawings, was fortunate +enough to win both first and second +mentions, while E. S. Powers was voted +third place.</p> + +<p>The competition for a pedestal for a +monument was well contested, but the +winner of the first place failed to claim +his design. Mr. A. C. Munoz, a former +winner of the McKim Travelling Scholarship, +won second place; and Chas. Z. +Klauder, third.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>To the list of Architectural Clubs contained +in our February issue should be +added the following:—</p> + +<p class="indented">Baltimore Architectural Club; secretary, +Louis E.

For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** + + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate17.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate17.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..88ebeff --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate17.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate17tn.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate17tn.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9413e65 --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate17tn.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate18.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate18.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9e5e452 --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate18.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate18tn.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate18tn.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9eeab6a --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate18tn.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate19.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate19.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d9fb205 --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate19.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate19tn.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate19tn.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f9c0acd --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate19tn.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate20.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate20.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2b7ffdd --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate20.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate20tn.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate20tn.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..88a48cd --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate20tn.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate21.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate21.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..da6f515 --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate21.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate21tn.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate21tn.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7c7daf5 --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate21tn.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate22.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate22.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4c099da --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate22.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate22tn.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate22tn.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3cbb862 --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate22tn.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate23.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate23.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c084e95 --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate23.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate23tn.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate23tn.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2c9c170 --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate23tn.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate24.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate24.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ba3da71 --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate24.jpg diff --git a/18852-h/images/plate24tn.jpg b/18852-h/images/plate24tn.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..86e740c --- /dev/null +++ b/18852-h/images/plate24tn.jpg |
