ROMANIC SCULPTURE FROM THE ROMAN-CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL FROM ALBA IULIA. ORNAMENTAL REPERTOIRE

Summary/Abstract: Result of association in a homogeneous system of some elements inherited or taken over, of interferences and own experiences, Romanic sculpture was generator of some original shapes, of intense circulation and wide geographical spread in early medieval Europe. Sculptures from Roman-Catholic cathedral from Alba Iulia – objective integrated to our study – are defining for the characteristics of Roman Transylvanian plastic, within choice and interpretation of the ornamental repertoire. Without knowing the abundance and diversity of manifestations occurred within Occidental plastic, Romanic sculpture from the Roman-Catholic cathedral from Alba Iulia made use of all the experiences of Romanic art in the field of architectonical decorum: the combination of joints offered by apparent masonry; discrete geometrical and vegetal motifs, purely decorative or the high expression of anthropomorphous and zoomorphic figurative.
