Some historians saw this style as an expression of a dark age, but Gothic Art was an aesthetic of light above all things. Theocentric humanism, which gave way to renaissance anthropocentrism, was manifested in it. Among its values are the offering and pride represented by the cathedral, a center of reference in Gothic Art, as it was intended to achieve spiritual and historical transcendence; and the aesthetics of light, which was conceived as a symbol of the divinity, creator of all things.

Learn about these and other characteristics of Gothic Architecture, French Cathedrals, Spanish Cathedrals, Architecture, Sculpture, Painting and Miniature.
