The Substance of Gothic (Classic Reprint)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of a major artistic movement in Europe, exploring the evolution of a particular art form through centuries of societal and cultural changes. The author examines the rise of the art form in the wake of the fall of the Roman Empire and its subsequent rediscovery following the Renaissance. The book places the art form within its broader historical context, exploring how it reflected the spirit of the times, and the values and beliefs of the communities that created it. The author presents a powerful argument that the art form is not merely a product of individual genius but rather a manifestation of the collective soul of a particular era. By exploring the art form's roots in ancient Roman, Byzantine, and Syrian influences, the author provides a nuanced understanding of the art's enduring power and beauty. The book argues that this art form serves as a valuable lens through which to understand the complexities of history and the enduring legacy of a fascinating period in European civilization.
