· Gothic art 12th -15th century introductory videos get to know Europe. Get to Know more and more Gothic Art Born of the Romanesque movement, Gothic art developed in France by the middle of the twelfth century. Both Gothic art and architecture spread throughout Western Europe The hallmarks of Gothic art include such forms as sculpture, paintings (on panels), stained glass, and illuminated manuscripts. Fresco was also an important media for Gothic artists. The subjects of Gothic art were often religious in nature, but the period also marks an interest in secular art. As literacy rates improved and more and more people could patronize the arts, additional subject matter came to light. Scenes often, however, depicted narratives of Biblical stories. The Madonna, a less iconic and more human woman, figured strongly into Gothic art. Religious subject matter covered churches and cathedrals and was also expressed in metalwork and tapestry.
