Various phases of European architecture that were based on Roman forms, usually more specifically labeled as Italian Romanesque, French Romanesque, and German Romanesque. The growing use of the pointed arch and the Gothic conception of balanced thrusts, in the 12th century, marked the end of what was not one style but rather a group of transitional local styles. (Saylor, 1952)
