Review

Written by jacabook

From the art of the end of the roman world, to the european romanesque and gothic, passing through byzantine, lombard, carolingian and year one thousand art: a complete picture of what can be defined as the art of the european middle ages. It is believed that the Middle Ages began from the time of Constantine and Theodosius, the last example of Romanity with Ravenna and Constantinople.Then it was the era of the great migrations, of Goths, Lombards and the first reunification of the Carolingian world. The year 1000 follows with Germany and Lombardy in the foreground. Then the first truly European koinè dominated by the Romanesque, where the fresco regains the importance it had lost compared to miniatures and minor arts. Polycentric architecture creates, in this period, a universal language. Finally, the Gothic with its reckless architecture in France, Germany and England and the revolution of Giotto’s painting. Europe is Romanesque and Gothic and the Gothic will continue where it will not dominate, as in Italy and France, Humanism.
