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