    Form-Paint tympanum
    Function- The radiating chapels were built to house remains of the saints.
    Content- Cross-like ground plan
    Context- The period/style is Romanesque Europe
    Tradition-In the tympanum, figures are packed together, similar to the Roman's Horror Vacoui.

    Audience response- This church makes Christians who visit it feel closer to God.
