Sacred Geometry in Romanesque Stained Glass


Listen Later

Explore how 10th–12th century Romanesque glaziers encoded geometry into windows—circles, medallions, and the Vesica Piscis—turning light into a language of order. We tour full-scale layouts, the modular grids like the Siena Cathedral Oculus, and the structural role of glass and lead in swinging weight and wind. Rediscover a European network of craftsmen sharing a universal mathematical grammar through sacred light.
