Gothic Art was Medieval form of Art chiefly born out of Northern France and had its origin in Romanesque Art of 12th Century. It was facilitated by simultaneous evolution of Gothic Architecture and then had its spread all across West, North, Central and Southern Europe. However its impact in Italy was relatively less were classical styles remained mainstream. Gothic art had its birth in Île-de-France, France at the Abbey Church of St Denis. This form of art quickly grew out in to architecture and sculpture. It impacted both individual and structural size as well as art of textiles and paintings. Religious orders like chiefly the Cistercians and Carthusians helped in promoting and disseminating the Gothic style across Europe. Painting as a different style of Gothic Art developed some time after gothic architecture and sculpture had developed. Gothic painting was most observable in following medium namely mural paintings, illuminated manuscripts, panel-paintings and stained glasses. Etymologically the word Gothic was rather used negatively as another term for the word Barbaric. The critics of Gothic art considered it as rather crude and not refined enough compared to the aestheticism of Classical Art. Renaissance authors even considered to some degree the Sack of Rome by the Gothic tribes as the triggering point for the destruction of the Classical world and along with all values and merits held with it. During early renaissance period, Italian architects and authors even considered the Gothic art trickling down the Alps from the north art in analogy to the coarse invasion of the Barbarians of Rome and similar opposition to the Classical art revival.
