1 gen 1135 anni - Gothic Buildings Emerge

Descrizione:

Around 1135 AD, the Gothic architectural style begins to emerge in France, starting with the renovation of the Basilica of Saint-Denis by Abbot Suger. This new style, characterized by pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, represents a significant shift from the earlier Romanesque architectural tradition. Gothic architecture allows for taller and more expansive structures, with an emphasis on verticality and light. The style’s innovations enabled the creation of grand cathedrals and churches, marked by soaring spires, intricate stained glass windows, and intricate stonework.

The Gothic architectural movement spread across Europe, influencing the design of many of the continent’s most iconic medieval buildings, including Notre-Dame de Paris and Chartres Cathedral. The Gothic era sees the construction of some of the most celebrated examples of medieval architecture, reflecting the era’s religious devotion and artistic achievement. The style’s emphasis on height and light transformed the architectural landscape of medieval Europe.
