Review features of Romanesque sculpture found in Chapter 10. Romanesque sculpture is stiff and formal and is more tightly fused to the structure like the portal or tympanum. Compare this style with Gothic sculpture, which portrays greater realism and emotion in the figures.

What will be an ideal response?

In Gothic sculpture, the poses are more natural, showing contrapposto stances and less verticality. The level of relief is more extreme; the figures seem more animated and less a part of the structure itself.
