Romanesque art refers to medieval art between the 10th and approx. 12th century, i.e, the rise of Gothic art. It originated in Italy inspired by the art of Ancient Rome, and can be seen most often in architecture, decorative art and painting.

Hence the Romanesque style became the first Pan-European artistic style which expanded throughout the entire Catholic Europe.
