Gothic art ascends with its architecture, painting, and sculpture into a realm of transcendence and spiritual depth, characterized by sublime forms and profound symbolism.
Gothic is the term used to describe the art of the Middle Ages from the middle of the 12th century to around 1500. The name is derived from the Italian "gotico" for barbaric, strange, The Gothic period follows the Romanesque period, in which, however, there were already Gothic elements such as the typical pointed arch. The Gothic period is replaced by the Renaissance.
Gothic art can be found especially in church building of this period. It started in France, so the cathedral Notre Dame de Paris was built around 1140 in the surroundings of Paris. There was a spiritual, theological, political, economic and technical awakening. The economy developed positively, the population was drawn to the cities, new churches were needed and financing was also possible. The magnificent cathedrals in Chartres, Amiens and Reims are now UNESCO World Heritage Sites and attract millions of visitors. The largest Gothic cathedral is Santa Maria de la Sede in Seville. Religion was important, people wanted more light in the churches and so bigger and more colourful windows were built. The builders of these Gothic churches were originally stonemasons and became architects of the Middle Ages. They bore the title of cathedral master builder, for example Master Gerhard, one of the builders of Cologne Cathedral or Anton Pilgram of St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. Cathedrals were decorated with stiff-looking figures in expressive garb.
Painting featured frescoes with religious motifs, much stained glass through the large Gothic windows, panel painting on wall panels and winged altars, Tilman Riemenschneider being famous for this. Liturgical books were illustrated and decorated with book painting.

So habe ich das (für mich) perfekte Bild (als ...

Der gesamte Prozess und die gelieferte Qualität sind 1A. Was ich mir noch wünschen würde: Da ich das Bild in einen vorhandenen Rahmen aus dem 1...
Vor allem hat mich die Qualität des Drucks begeistert! Dass man die Möglichkeit zur Rahmenauswahl hat und die Art der Hängung selbst bestimmen kann hat find ich positiv.
Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Die Qualität ist sehr gut und die Mitarbeiter haben sogar nachgefragt ob meine Bestellung so richtig war; und tatsächlich hatte ich mich im Papier vertan und es konnte so ganz leicht angepasst werden. Vielen Dank!
Bin voll zufrieden. Ich konnte ohne viele Komplikationen noch ein weiteres Bild nachordern, es wurde dann der ersten Bestellung zugerechnet, so hatte ich die zweiten Portokosten gespart. Die Qualität ist top und die Beratung auch.
würde noch mehr Sterne vergeben, bin sehr zufrieden,freue mich jedesmal auf das bestellte Bild, und es übertrifft jedesmal meine Vorstellungen. Danke für die tolle Arbeit. hanni Stetter😘
