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. Many artists sculpted (-5[1])the Binding of Isaac for a 1401 contest to design one of these features at the Florence Baptistery that Lorenzo (10[1])Ghiberti (10[1])won over Filippo (10[1])Brunelleschi (10[1]-5[2])(“broo-nel-LESS-kee”). The Thinker is part of a sculptural group named for these features. (10[1])So-called “French” examples of these features are fully covered by windows. For 10 points, name these architectural features that regulate entry into rooms. ■END■ (10[4])
