The splendour of Gothic art can be seen in the magnificent cathedrals of Notre Dame, Chartres, Rouen, Salisbury and Lincoln and in their sculpture. But also between 1140 and 1400 a vast quantity of very fine paintings, stained glass, manuscript illuminations, metalwork and tapestries were produced.
Andrew Martindale writes of all these great achievements in one of the best available concise surveys of this highly creative period in Western art.
