{"title":"Gothic Art","description":"\u003cp\u003eGothic art was a European style that flourished from the late twelfth century to the sixteenth, the dominant visual idiom of the high and late medieval centuries. It emerged in the Île-de-France with the rebuilding of the Abbey of Saint-Denis under Abbot Suger from 1140 onward, and spread quickly across France, England, the Holy Roman Empire, Italy, Burgundy, Flanders, and Scandinavia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe principal media of the period are stained glass, monumental sculpture, panel painting, fresco, and illuminated manuscript. The great cathedral programmes at Chartres, Reims, Amiens, Beauvais, and Bourges integrated these media into unified theological statements. Painted altarpiece and panel painting belong principally to the late Gothic period, from the fourteenth century onward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe principal painters and sculptors include Giotto and Pietro Lorenzetti in central Italy, Simone Martini in Siena, Jean Pucelle in France, Claus Sluter in Burgundy, \u003ca class=\"artist-bio-link\" href=\"\/collections\/jan-van-eyck\"\u003eJan van Eyck\u003c\/a\u003e and Robert Campin in the Low Countries, and the German limewood sculptors Tilman Riemenschneider and Veit Stoss.
