Ribbed vaults appeared in the Romanesque churches of Alsace from about 1140-1150, notably at the abbey church of Murbach and the collegiate church of Lautenbach. This form of vaulting was subsequently found in many small buildings with single naves. In basilical churches, the naves covered with ceilings gave way, during the second half of the twelfth century, to spaces at first marked with discrete rythms, then with more vigour. Towards 1200, the interiors were characterised by strongly stated ribs. These dimly lit spaces suggest formal designs that were very different from the ones being developed at the same time by the architects of the Ile-de-France region. |
