Si hubiera que definir con una sola palabra la pintura románica, tendríamos que llamarla "antinaturalista". La pintura románica, igual que la bizantina, resulta poco naturalista comparada con la desarrollada desde el Renacimiento hasta el siglo XIX. Mas no debe achacarse todo a la torpeza técnica de sus autores. No se trata de torpeza técnica. Para comprender el fenómeno de la pintura románica debemos remontarnos un poco más atrás y recordar los rumbos que tomó la civilización europea y el arte cristiano desde el Bajo Imperio Romano.

My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods...or monsters.

Although such movies have been traditionally understood as offering only sadistic pleasures to their mostly male audiences, Clover demonstrates that they align spectators not with the male tormentor, but with the females tormented.
