Gothic Art History
Introduction to Gothic art coming soon!
Gothic Architecture
Chartres Cathedral | One of the most remarkable examples of the High Gothic cathedral, Chartres is a magnificent monument to the power and glory of the Age of Faith.
Cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris | Notre Dame in Paris is one of those magical and almost mystical shrines to beauty, with its intricately carved fa�ade that displays a rhymically balanced series of horizontal and vertical forms.
Gothic Decorative Arts
Lady with Unicorn Tapestries | The senses are celebrated in this series of tapestries. And the backgrounds of these works of textile art are gorgeous examples of the
mille fleurs, or thousand flowers, technique.
Rose Window, Chartres Cathedral | The art of stained glass reached the pinnacle of perfection in the windows of many Gothic cathedrals, including the awe-inspiring rose window at Chartres.
