Gothic architecture




Look up the following video:
The term "gothic" was used by erudits to named the art made by the "godos", a kind of art considered as inferior and very critized by the society. Thus, Gothic architecture, was very critized and pointed by people, thinking that it was a kind of architecture, worthless only because it had not no influence of Greco-roman one.
It appeared between years XII and XVI in Europe. But it wasn´t until the XIX Century when it was appreciated. The movement from Romanesque to Gothic was as a result of the different way of thinking of medieval people about knowledge and truth from the one that existed previously. Several idealisms were destroyed, includig Plato, and new concepts about life were included. People started working more with their senses than their faith. They started to believe in a new knowledge that could be felt. Even the Divine world was researched and look for the truth that could be proved.
These was the entrance into the Renaissence.
