Round 8: Tossup 14

Ghislebertus (“zheel-BARE-tus”) sculpted The Last Judgement above one of these features, as was common in Romanesque architecture. Old Testament kings are sculpted into the Chartres (“SHAR-truh”) Cathedral’s “Royal” one of these features, which are found below tympanums. (-5[1])Many artists (10[1])sculpted the Binding of Isaac for a 1401 contest to design one of these features at the Florence (10[1])Baptistery that Lorenzo Ghiberti won over Filippo (10[1])Brunelleschi (-5[1])(“broo-nel-LESS-kee”). The Thinker (-5[1])is part of a sculptural group named for these features. So-called “French” examples of these features are fully covered by windows. For 10 points, name these architectural features that regulate (-5[1])entry into rooms. ■END■ (10[4])
