It spread to all of Western Europe, and much of Southern and Central Europe, never quite effacing more classical styles in [[Italy]]. In the late 14th century, the sophisticated court style of [[International Gothic]] developed, which continued to evolve until the late 15th century.

== Characteristics ==
Gothic art is characterized by its use of [[light]] and [[color]], particularly in the form of [[stained glass]] windows, which were used extensively in [[Gothic cathedrals]]. The style also features intricate and elaborate [[sculpture]], often depicting religious scenes and figures. Gothic art is known for its attention to detail and its use of naturalistic forms, which was a departure from the more stylized and abstract forms of earlier medieval art.

== Development ==
The development of Gothic art is closely linked to the rise of [[Gothic architecture]], which began with the construction of the [[Basilica of Saint-Denis]] near [[Paris]] in the 12th century. The style quickly spread to other parts of Europe, with notable examples including the [[Cathedral of Notre-Dame]] in Paris, the [[Chartres Cathedral]], and the [[Amiens Cathedral]]. Gothic art continued to evolve over the centuries, with the later [[Rayonnant]] and [[Flamboyant]] styles representing the height of its development.

== Painting ==
Gothic painting developed later than Gothic architecture and sculpture. It is characterized by a greater emphasis on naturalism and the use of perspective. Notable examples of Gothic painting include the works of [[Giotto di Bondone]] in Italy and the [[International Gothic]] style, which was popular in the courts of Europe in the late 14th and early 15th centuries.

== Sculpture ==
Gothic sculpture is known for its detailed and realistic depictions of religious figures and scenes. It often adorned the facades of Gothic cathedrals, with notable examples including the sculptures on the [[west facade]] of the [[Chartres Cathedral]] and the [[portal sculptures]] of the [[Amiens Cathedral]]. Gothic sculpture also includes smaller works, such as [[ivory carvings]] and [[altarpieces]].

== Stained Glass ==
Stained glass windows are one of the most distinctive features of Gothic art. They were used to fill the large windows of Gothic cathedrals, creating a dramatic interplay of light and color. Notable examples of Gothic stained glass include the windows of the [[Sainte-Chapelle]] in Paris and the [[rose windows]] of the [[Chartres Cathedral]].
