This work is
(A) an encaustic panel
(B) a fresco
(C) a mosaic
(D) a bas-relief
Answer is C! Even though we have never studied this
image, we can tell by looking at it that it is a mosaic,
because of the tiny squares of colored tile. What time
period do we think this is from? Where was it probably
located? Who is it and how do we know?

(B) The High Gothic tendency toward greater

(C) The absence of stained glass that was typical of

Answer is B! Reims Cathedral is considered “high
Gothic,” and is known for its highly decorated façade.
It does not have a Romanesque-style tympanum like
Chartres Cathedral.

A characteristic of French Gothic cathedrals is the use
of
(A) fan vaults
(B) ribbed groin vaults
(C) continuous barrel vaults
(D) flat coffered ceilings
Answer is B! Simpler groin vaults were first seen in some of the
earlier Romanesque churches, like St. Etienne. French
Gothic architecture took it to the next level, adding intense
ribbing, and pointed arches. Fan vaults were used in English
Gothic, barrel vaults were used in Romanesque churches,
and coffered ceilings can be seen in the Pantheon.
