Gothic Art
The Gothic Era lasted from the 12th Century, to the 16th Century. When people think of The Gothic Era, many think of dark woods, with vampires and skeletons, but in actual fact, there is more colourful and architectural designs and artworks when compared to the dark, gloomy artworks. The Gothic Era brought along with it some great architectural engineering and structural designs. More tall and structural buildings were built.
Sculptures were built and looked more realistic, compared to the Romanesque sculptures, which looked like stiff figures. Sculptures were increasing in popularity, and Medieval Cathedrals had their own styles of sculpting.
The Gothic Paintings had more colour added to them, and looked more realistic, compared to previous artworks in other eras. In the Gothic Era, not as many paintings of Jesus were created, but mostly were painting about non-religious themes, for example, some artworks are about Kings, Ghosts, Knights on Horseback.
