The Romanesque style is a European art style from about 1000 to 1250 AD. This style is characterized by solid and massive figures with a stiff posture and rather long bodies.
The folds of the figures’ robes seems neatly arranged on purpose as if "combed". These representations look both strict and ceremonial alike.
The Gothic period ranges approximately from 1250 to 1500 AD. In art and architecture this style can be recognized by the long, thin shapes. Gothic figures characteristically
feature the so-called Y-fold, S-shaped bodies and the separation of standing and leaning leg. The statues usually have a friendly look.
The Baroque period, from about 1600 to 1750 AD, is characterized by round shapes and rich, prestigious and colorful representations.
