La arquitectura medieval y el pensamiento de Nicolás de Cusa

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the architectural transition from romanesque to gothic through the passage from the abbey to the cathedral. To proceed with the analysis, the thought of Nicholas of Cusa is taken into consideration in relation to the notion of number and geometry. It is important to clarify that the following work corresponds to an interdisciplinary study, for which it takes up the architecture of the romanesque and gothic in correspondence with the philosophical position of cusanus. This research is not a study of historical coincidence, but an analogical (comparative) study between the convergences of the artistic productions of the Middle Ages and the thought of the cardinal of Bresanona. For correlation purposes, the idea of the finite is analogous with the romanesque abbey and the concept of infinity with the gothic cathedral
