Cathedrals of Spain The form of the building is that of a Roman cross with rather short arms; the apse consists of but one chapel, the lady-chapel. The Cathedrals of Northern Spain The substitution of the square east-end for the apse in the plans of the greater churches, already effected at Romsey, was furthered by the simple plans of the Cistercian churches. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 4 "Aram, Eugene" to "Arcueil" Apsidal.—Pertaining or relating to an apse; like an apse, as apsidal chancel. The American Church Dictionary and Cyclopedia There are two altars, one at the choir entrance and the other in the apse, each surmounted by a triptych. The Cathedrals and Churches of the Rhine This apse is almost unique in Spanish architectural history and deeply absorbing as an extensive piece of Romanesque work, not quite free from Moorish traces and already employing in its vaulting Gothic expedients. Cathedrals of Spain Of the true apse, the lower part has ogival arched windows of singular elegance; the upper body, also semicircular in form, but slightly smaller, has round-headed windows. The Cathedrals of Northern Spain The term is also applied to the galleries, employed decoratively, on the fa�ades of the Italian churches, and carried round the apses where they are known as eaves-galleries. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 4 "Aram, Eugene" to "Arcueil" The Ducal Palace begins to show mouldings on both sides, 28, 31; and 35 is a complete arch moulding from the apse of the Frari. The Stones of Venice, Volume III (of 3) The eastern termination is demi-round in the interior and square outside, while the westerly apse is polygonal both inside and out. The Cathedrals and Churches of the Rhine It consists of a central nave of six bays up to a strongly marked crossing and three beyond, terminating in a pentagonal apse. Cathedrals of Spain There is no ambulatory behind the high altar, which stands in the lady-chapel; the apse is rounded. The Cathedrals of Northern Spain The columns and arches give scale to the small apses, the small apses to the larger ones, and the latter to the dome, so that its immense size is grasped from the first. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 4 "Aram, Eugene" to "Arcueil" Its apse is on the little canal crossing from the Grand Canal to the Giudecca, beside the Church of the Salute, and is very characteristic of the rude ecclesiastical Gothic contemporary with the Ducal Palace. The Stones of Venice, Volume III (of 3) The three apses unfold grandly, with the high altar in the most easterly or middle termination. The Cathedrals and Churches of the Rhine At various stages above and around, crowning and banding towers, chapels, apse, naves, and transepts, run the many balconies. Cathedrals of Spain The last named chapel is an octagonal addition to the apse. The Cathedrals of Northern Spain In the last-named church the apse still retains its marble seats, rising one above the other, with the bishop’s throne in the centre. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 4 "Aram, Eugene" to "Arcueil" Now when these bases are brought close to each other at the angles of the apse, their natural position would be as in fig. The Stones of Venice, Volume II (of 3), The three apses, and their round arches and galleries, are like a bit of Italy transported northward. The Cathedrals and Churches of the Rhine We thus obtain in Avila, owing to the very early commencement of its apse, a curious and vitally interesting conglomeration of the Romanesque and Gothic. Cathedrals of Spain The original plan was that of a Romanesque basilica with a three-lobed apse, but in 1781 the ambulatory walk behind the altar joined the two lateral aisles. The Cathedrals of Northern Spain At the eastern end were three apses, the two outer ones, facing the aisles, being additions in the second half of the 6th centurv. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 4 "Aram, Eugene" to "Arcueil" At Murano, between the pillars of 247 the apse, a beautiful balustrade is employed, of which a single arch is given in the Plate opposite, fig. The Stones of Venice, Volume II (of 3), Perhaps the most solemn roofs in the world are the apse conchas of the Romanesque basilicas, with their golden ground and severe figures. The Stones of Venice, Volume I (of 3) There is no triforium, but the side walls, transepts, and apses are pierced by openings of true Romanesque type. Cathedrals of Spain The effect of this double apse is highly peculiar, especially as seen from within, with chapels to the east and chapels to the west. The Cathedrals of Northern Spain The plan is unusual, and consists of a square with circular apses on three sides. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 4 "Aram, Eugene" to "Arcueil" The real root of the Ducal Palace is the apse of the church of the Frari. The Stones of Venice, Volume II (of 3), In fact, the simplest expression of the difference in the systems is, that a northern apse is a southern one with its inter-fenestrial piers set edgeways. The Stones of Venice, Volume I (of 3) The mosaics have long fallen out of the circle of the apse; and the frescoes, painted by some obscure follower of Giotto, have left only a green vague stain over the arches of the aisle. Renaissance Fancies and Studies Being a Sequel to Euphorion The lateral walls of the aisles were to contain symmetrical chapels, as was also the apse. The Cathedrals of Northern Spain There are two immense steeples 398 at the west end, two towers to each transept and two towers at the junction of the choir with its apse. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 4 "Aram, Eugene" to "Arcueil" And of these eleven, the first and second, tenth and eleventh, are at the ends of the aisles; while the third to the ninth, inclusive, go round the apse. The Stones of Venice, Volume II (of 3), XLII., is the general idea of the southern apse; take it to pieces, and set all its piers edgeways, as at b, and you have the northern one. The Stones of Venice, Volume I (of 3) The apse and aisle ends were square, and the nave was vaulted with a wagon vault. The Shores of the Adriatic The Austrian Side, The Küstenlande, Istria, and Dalmatia The ground plan of the building is Latin Cruciform; the aisles are but slightly lower than the nave and join in the apse behind the high altar in an ambulatory walk. The Cathedrals of Northern Spain The design reminds us of the mosaics in the apse of Santa Maria Maggiore and other churches at Rome, and it is extremely beautiful. Needlework As Art These pieces have been used as waste marble by the architect of the existing apse. The Stones of Venice, Volume II (of 3), The fact is, that the whole northern buttress system is based on the grand requirement of tall windows and vast masses of light at the end of the apse. The Stones of Venice, Volume I (of 3) The three apses are semicircular, with pilasters externally. The Shores of the Adriatic The Austrian Side, The Küstenlande, Istria, and Dalmatia Within this apse there is a platform, with polished oak rail in front, resting on carved pillars. A History of Horncastle from the earliest period to the present time At Ferrara are some remains of stalls in the apse of the Cathedral which were commissioned from Bernardino da Lendinara in 1501, though not made by him owing to the defalcations of a dishonest steward. Intarsia and Marquetry On this ground it seems to me probable that the existing apse of Murano is part of the original earliest church, and that the inscribed fragments used in it have been brought from the mainland. The Stones of Venice, Volume II (of 3), Hung in the dusky recesses of the apse, it was tempered by and merged in its stately surroundings. The Venetian School of Painting The nave and aisles terminate in semicircular apses.

Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 8, Slice 3 "Destructors" to "Diameter" But the severity which is so marked in the pulpit at Torcello is still more striking in the raised seats and episcopal throne which occupy the curve of the apse. The Stones of Venice, Volume II (of 3), One distinctly northern feature there is; namely, the singular effect given by the double apse of the nave and choir, reminiscent mainly of the214 Rhine builders, that of the eastern end being much the older. The Cathedrals of Northern France The church has a long nave with a horizontal wooden roof and a polygonal apse. The Shores of the Adriatic The Austrian Side, The Küstenlande, Istria, and Dalmatia The choir was originally terminated by apses, which can still be traced, and there were other apses on the eastern side of each transept. England, Picturesque and Descriptive A Reminiscence of Foreign Travel In the churches in central Syria of slightly earlier date, the diaconicon is rectangular, the side apses at Kalat-Seman having been added at a later date. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 8, Slice 3 "Destructors" to "Diameter" If the reader will look back to the measures of the sides of the apse, given before, p. The Stones of Venice, Volume II (of 3), The easterly end is the usual semicircular apse.

The Shores of the Adriatic The Austrian Side, The Küstenlande, Istria, and Dalmatia The eastern end is a five-sided apse; the ceiling is vaulted in oak, while the chapel has a magnificent screen. England, Picturesque and Descriptive A Reminiscence of Foreign Travel Before that time there was only one apse. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 8, Slice 3 "Destructors" to "Diameter" Now let the reader observe carefully that this balustrade of Murano is a fence of other things than the low gallery round the deserted apse. The Stones of Venice, Volume II (of 3), The apse is rounded in the usual form, and on either side extend transepts to the width of two bays. The Cathedrals of Northern France The arch of the apse is round, with two antique granite columns; it had three small round windows in it. The Shores of the Adriatic The Austrian Side, The Küstenlande, Istria, and Dalmatia It is built in the form of a cross, with a smaller transept at the western end, while the choir terminates in an apse, and a central tower rises from four supporting arches. England, Picturesque and Descriptive A Reminiscence of Foreign Travel The side aisles have flat roofs, and the central nave a stilted semicircular one, practically a vault, which at the apse becomes a semicircular dome, under which is the dagoba, the symbol of Buddhism. Architecture Classic and Early Christian Above the first story of the apse runs, as he knows already, a gallery under open arches, protected by a light balustrade.

The Shores of the Adriatic The Austrian Side, The Küstenlande, Istria, and Dalmatia The latter terminates in a polygonal apse of unique arrangement, and the red sandstone of which the cathedral is built gives a warm and effective coloring. England, Picturesque and Descriptive A Reminiscence of Foreign Travel Round the apse the columns are replaced by piers. Architecture Classic and Early Christian The proportions above given of the nave and aisles might have been dictated by a mere love of mathematical precision; but those of the apse could only have resulted from a true love of harmony. The Stones of Venice, Volume II (of 3), The half-obliterated frescoes of the domed vaulting of the western apse indicate that it was completed after the pure Italian manner at a considerably later time than the opposite end. The Cathedrals of Northern France The more important church, S. Sofia, still has its outside walls, the three apses, with traces of frescoes in the central one, and the walls of the sacristy.

Architecture Classic and Early Christian The church of the Holy Apostles is a basilica with rounded apse and four octagon towers, one at each corner of the nave. Lippincott's Magazine, Vol. 20, August 1877 The most remarkable interior effect, aside from this western apse, is that of the lofty Gothic arches, springing high above the Romanesque arches of the nave, and naturally of a much later date. The Cathedrals of Northern France It consists of nave and aisles with an apse of five sides of an octagon, which bears the date of 1688. The Shores of the Adriatic The Austrian Side, The Küstenlande, Istria, and Dalmatia Entered by a passage from the south transept, and built across the back of the apse, it is an oblong room with coffered barrel vault, lit by a large semicircular window at the north end. Portuguese Architecture The internal columns do not exist here, and it is simply a rectangular hall about 175 ft. by 85 ft., with the usual semicircular apse. Architecture Classic and Early Christian Anastasia from the rear breaks upon one, the pentagonal apse, the chapels, transepts, nave, and towers rising one above another, a beautiful specimen of early Italian Gothic, still strongly impressed with the Lombard spirit. Lippincott's Magazine, Vol. 20, August 1877 The rose window over the western apse is pitifully weak and quite lacking in effectiveness. The Cathedrals of Northern France It has been modernised, but the three apses are untouched externally, crowned with a corbelled arcuated cornice, the centre one being the largest. The Shores of the Adriatic The Austrian Side, The Küstenlande, Istria, and Dalmatia It has a nave and aisles of three large and one small bay, a dome at the crossing, and transepts and chancel ending in apses.

The Cathedrals of Northern France The mosaics in the apse are late Byzantine. The Shores of the Adriatic The Austrian Side, The Küstenlande, Istria, and Dalmatia As at Paço de Souza, the oldest part of the church is the east end, where the two apses flanking the square chancel remain unaltered. Portuguese Architecture The middle opening between the two churches is probably the original arch by which the apse was entered, since it does not, like the two side arches, break into the line of arcading. Memorials of Old London Volume I In later times a very beautiful system of decoration with slender shallow niches was introduced and was applied in particular to the east end and to the apses. Byzantine Churches in Constantinople Their History and Architecture A man may call up half the world's history in half an hour in such a place, toward evening, when the golden light streams through the Holy Dove in the apse.

Portuguese Architecture The proportions of the church have been spoiled by the cutting off of the apse of the chancel—an entirely unwarrantable piece of destruction. Highways and Byways in Surrey Generally the centre to which the mullions radiate is considerably beyond the apse, so that any necessary little adjustment of the arch could easily be made. Byzantine Churches in Constantinople Their History and Architecture We have all spent the morning in the most strenuous sightseeing, going to the cathedral first, which is quite near, its apse blocking the street on which the Cheval Blanc stands.

The Shores of the Adriatic The Austrian Side, The Küstenlande, Istria, and Dalmatia A nave and aisles of five bays, three polygonal apses to the east and later square chapels beyond the aisles, make up the whole building. Portuguese Architecture On the east side of the central space this arrangement is broken, and one tall arch opens into the chancel, which ends in a projecting apse, semi-circular inside, but a half octagon outside. The Ground Plan of the English Parish Church By what is an exceptional arrangement, the lateral chapels are as lofty both on the interior and on the exterior as is the central apse, but they are entered by low doors. Byzantine Churches in Constantinople Their History and Architecture The apse is of later date, reconstructed by Paschal I. in 818. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 3 "Banks" to "Bassoon" The churches generally have a semicircular apse and flat wooden ceilings; those without campanili have bell-turrets on the west wall, many of them no longer in use.

Portuguese Architecture The walls of the chancel, which was slightly narrower than the nave, were continued straight for a little way beyond the screen-wall; and then the curve of the apse began. The Ground Plan of the English Parish Church On the east all the apses project boldly. Byzantine Churches in Constantinople Their History and Architecture Here we find an oblong atrium, a vestibule or narthex, double aisles with Corinthian columns, and a transept, each end of which terminates in an apse, in addition to that in the usual position.
