Tag Gothic Art

Medieval art, a product of various movements and styles, was a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. It depicted a wide array of subjects and transitioned from the abstract style of Byzantine art to a more naturalistic and three-dimensional direction. The use of techniques like stained glass, frescoes, illuminated manuscripts, and sculptures in wood and stone was not just common, but a hallmark of this art form. The influence of early Christian art, one of the most significant early Christian art forms, was profound, paving the way for the development of subsequent styles such as Romanesque and Gothic art.
