Post 3: Gothic Art

Gothic Art roamed from 1150 to the 15th century and it is known as the "experimental period". This art period is most famous for the stained glass windows and the architecture. The stained glass windows were made from glass and they typically resembled religion. With this fact, these stained glass windows were found in cathedrals and churches. They consisted of a story with god and the color palettes often used were dark reds, dark blues, and black.

The Gothic Art period was also known for its architecture. As there was an advancement of technology, the architecture was changing during this period. There were narrow, pointed arches, the buttress, the flying buttress, the pilgrims, ribbed vaulting, and towers created. These were mostly found in the churches and cathedrals built at the time.
