Gothic art emerged in the 12th century and developed until the 16th, from the Iberian
00:00:00
Peninsula to Scandinavia, from Ireland to the Middle East, spread by the Crusaders.
00:00:11
The origins of this great artistic revolution can be found in the Paris region, in the Abbey
00:00:17
of Saint-Denis. Thanks to Abbot Suger and his overarching idea, the contemplation of
00:00:22
material beauty allows us to rise to the knowledge of God. And this is the key to Gothic architecture.
00:00:28
Its cathedrals and churches seem to rise and seek the sky with the marked verticality of its towers
00:00:35
and its broad soaring naves. Behind this aesthetic change was a great technical revolution which
00:00:42
overcame previous constructive limitations. Ogival or pointed arches form ribbed vaults which would
00:00:49
gradually become more complex until they evolved into fan vaults in England.
00:00:57
Outside, a network of flying buttresses, braces, separated from the wall with pinnacles crowning
00:01:03
them, bore the pressure of the vaults, which allowed these buildings to be built ever higher
00:01:09
and lighter. In contrast to the sturdiness and darkness of the Romanesque, Gothic churches were
00:01:13
suffused with light. Frescoed walls were replaced with massive, colorful stained glass windows
00:01:20
and rose windows that flooded the buildings with light, favoring a mystical experience.
00:01:26
Paintings on the walls, increasingly scarce, gave way to a new medium,
00:01:33
altarpieces, which would become the focal points of the main altars and chapels,
00:01:37
and Gothic sculpture, which came about closely linked to architecture,
00:01:42
freestanding with a hieratic elongated aesthetic to convey spirituality,
00:01:46
would gradually become more naturalistic and realistic, succeeded by portraits.
00:01:51
Gothic art would evolve and adapt in each different territory,
00:02:00
which is why today we speak of classical Gothic and flamboyant Gothic in France,
00:02:03
perpendicular in England,
00:02:09
Manuline in Portugal,
00:02:11
and Isabelline in Spain.
00:02:13
A journey through Spain allows one to view brilliant Gothic architecture,
00:02:16
such as the Cathedral of Burgos,
00:02:20
recently celebrating its 8th centennial, and those of León, Toledo, Cuenca, Palencia, and Girona,
00:02:22
the cloister of the Cathedral of Pamplona, the Church of San Pablo in Valladolid,
00:02:35
the Cathedral of Seville, the largest Gothic church in the world,
00:02:42
and for a civil building, the Lonja de la Ceba, or Silk Exchange, in Valencia.
