Hadrian could be said to be a master-architect / city planner in his own right. He vastly increased the Roman style throughout his empire, and in so doing, affected the European style to this very day. Because Hadrian was born in Spain (as a Roman citizen), should he, often credited with being the architect of the Pantheon in Rome, then be considered a foreign architect as far as concerns Italy ?? Compare, Maxentius, perhaps born in Syria, like his mother Eutropia; his father Maximian was born in (today's) Serbia. Constantine too was born in Serbia, although his mother Helena was born in (today's) Turkey. The architecture of Eutropia and Helena had an unprecedented effect on Italian styles, later. And what of the rest of the WEST ??

The Panthéon in Paris designed by Jacques-Germain Soufflot, 1755-1792, was finished, in the midst of the French Revolution. The Constituent Assembly of the Révolution decided by decree to transform the church (église Sainte-Geneviève) into a secular temple to accommodate the remains of the great men of France. The pattern was thoroughly Roman, a pattern which the counter-revolutionary, Napoleon, followed slavishly, because it was the art of power in building. More about the Roman influence in Architecture is found HERE (with many examples pictured).

Evidemment, l'Art roman se limite pas à la Bourgogne! Chefs d'oeuvres romans sont construits dans toute l'Europe pendant les 11e et 12e siècles. De la Scandinavie jusqu'en Espagne par l'Angleterre ou par l'Allemagne, chaque pays conserve des trésors de l'Art roman bâties dans des tyles très différentes. Chaque région à ses propres caractéristiques et particularités dans l'achitecture et la sculpture romane. Les influences byzantines, rhénanes, arabes, carolingiennes et romaines définent l'art de plusieurs pays. Cette page est destinée à vous donner un petit aperçu de l'Art roman à travers l'Europe, sans vouloir être complet ou exhaustif. Commençant par les régions françaises autres que la Bourgogne, tous les pays de l'Europe de l'ouest seront considérés. http://homepage.uvt.nl/~s239062/artroman.htm
