GOTHIC ART

Gothic art is a distinctive style that flourished in Europe from the 12th to the 16th centuries, primarily in the form of architecture, sculpture, and stained glass. Originating in France, it is characterized by its dramatic, vertical lines, pointed arches, and intricate details that evoke a sense of awe and spirituality. Gothic cathedrals, with their towering spires and expansive windows, aimed to inspire and elevate the human spirit. The art often depicted religious themes, emphasizing the divine and the supernatural. Gothic art’s haunting beauty and sense of mystery continue to influence modern design and aesthetics.
