‘Perhaps even more important was the Northern love of aspiring and intersecting forms, powerfully composed, which affected almost the entire Romanesque area, stretching from Portugal to the Holy Land, including Scandinavia and the Holy Roman Empire. The greater buildings were most often churches, which stood out boldly above the ordinary * constructions but had an organic relationship with them. The resulting silhouette, so much in contrast with placid classical design, quite transformed man’s idea of what a city or church group should look like, either from within or from a distance as an ensemble. This dynamic mode was bequeathed to Gothic, Renaissance and modern times.’
