Monday Morning Museum: Gothic Art


Gothic Art – Fifth Century to the Sixteenth Century
Gothic art was a style of Medieval art that developed in France out of Romanesque art in the mid-12th century, led by the concurrent development of Gothic architecture. It spread to all of Western Europe, but took over art more completely north of the Alps, never quite effacing more classical styles in Italy. In the late 14th century, the sophisticated court style of International Gothic developed, which continued to evolve until the late 15th century. In many areas, especially Germany, Late Gothic art continued well into the 16th century… - Wikipedia.org

In addition to Arnolfo di Cambio (see art example below), other Gothic Art artists are Simone Martini and Andrea Pisano.
