Gothic Art

"Then arose new architects who after the manner of their barbarous nations erected buildings in that style which we call Gothic ( dei Gotthi )." Florentine historiographer Giorgio Vasari (1511–1574) was the first to label the architecture of preceding centuries "Gothic," in reference to the Nordic tribes that overran the Roman empire in the sixth century. Vasari implied that this architecture was debased, especially compared to that of his own time, which had revived the forms of classical antiquity. Long since rid of derogatory connotations, the label is now used to characterize an art form based on the pointed arch, which emerged around Paris in the middle of the twelfth century, was practiced throughout Europe, and lingered in some regions well into the sixteenth century.We only show the first 70 results for these searchterm(s).
