Art Word of the Day: Gothic art and architecture

in wordoftheday •  5 years ago 

Term: Gothic art and architecture

Definition: A style of architecture and

art dominate in Europe from the 12th to the 15th century, Gothic architecture features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and often large areas of stained glass. It is especially noted for the great cathedrals of Europe such as Notre Dame in Paris with flying buttresses, "which made possible thin stone walls and an airy interior space." Sources: Wikipedia; Ralph Mayer, "A Dictionary of Art Terms and Techniques"
