Gothic art finds its roots in the powerful architecture of the cathedrals of northern France. It is a medieval art movement that evolved throughout Europe over more than 200 years.Leaving curved Roman forms behind; the architects started using flying buttresses and pointed arches to open up cathedrals to daylight. A period of great economic and social change; the Gothic era also saw the development of a new iconography celebrating the Holy Mary ndash; in drastic contrast to the fearful themes of dark Roman times. Full of rich changes in all of the various art forms (architecture; sculpture; painting; etc.); Gothic art paved the way for the Italian Renaissance and International Gothic movement.
