and the flourishing of religious orders

Cistercian art.
• This art has been defined for
a long time fairly superficial,
exclusively for the use of one
of its elements, the pointed
arch, which is usually invoked
ogival, from which derives the
rib vault that allows thrusts to
move the buttresses outside,
that is further away from the
walls through the use of flying
buttresses. That allowed the
construction of buildings
much larger and higher, and
that there is more than the
vain on the walls
The light
• The light is understood as
the sublimation of divinity.
The symbolism
dominates the artists of
the time, the school sees
the light of Chartres the
most noble of natural
phenomena, less material
element, the closest
approximation to the pure
form.
Gothic Sculpture I
• The sculpture Gothic
style evolved from a
long and rigid, still in
part Romanesque,
towards a sense of
space and naturalist
at the end of the 12th
century and early
13th century.
Gothic Sculpture II
• The Gothic sculptures were born in
the walls of churches, in middle
12th century in the Island of
France, when Abbot Suger did
build the abbey of Saint-Denis (h
1140), considered the first Gothic
building, and then the cathedral
Chartres (h 1145). Previously, the
Gothic is not built on the Isle of
France, so the sculptors were
brought from Burgundy, who made
the revolutionary figures who
worked as columns in the Royal
Portico of Chartres. It was a new
invention and would be the model
for a generation of sculptors.
