GOTHIC ART

ARCHITECTURE, PAINTING AND SCULPTURE

 A word generally used in relation the deathly or other darker elements. 
A movement in literature that branched off of the individualist movement of the
1700's, usually revolving around the darker elements of human nature. Gothic art is
dark and mysterious. The Gothic developed in northern France and spreading
through Western Europe from the middle of the 12th century to the early 16th
century it is characterized by large windows - often with stained glass, and by strong
load-bearing pointed arches. Gothic architecture is above all church and cathedral
architecture. Later, some features were adopted in royal palaces and in some castles.
Outstanding examples include: * St Denis, Paris * Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris *
Rheims Cathedral, NE France * Salisbury Cathedral, England * Divinity School,
Oxford, England * Parts of Prague Castle, Czech Republic.
 The first Gothic church was built in Paris, in 1143, which called St.denis. It skillfully
solved the problem of the arch frame structure of the dome, and there were large
scale of stained glass. Those were followed by many later churches.
 It is a style of architecture which flourished during the high and late medieval
period. It evolved from Romanesque architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance
architecture.
