But in some parts of Europe, Romanesque art lasted until13rd century, even15th century. Gothic art continued to develop in Europe (except Italy) in the15th century. Geographically speaking, France is the most popular area of Romanesque art style and the birthplace of Gothic art style-St. Denis Church in France.

Gothic cathedrals are characterized by the wide application of transverse rib arch, high stack, flying stack, pointed arch structure and new decoration system. Tall and straight, sharp, with a strong upward trend, suggesting a belief close to heaven. The church is not purely for religious worship, but the center of public life in various places. Because it is above ordinary buildings and can be seen from a distance, the size of the church represents the symbol of local financial resources. Gothic churches use round flower windows and colored glass mosaics instead of walls, making the whole building almost a transparent body. On a sunny day, walking into a Gothic church feels like walking into a rainbow.

Gothic art focuses on the development of the church, the most striking of which is the performance in architecture; From the thick and solid Roman style, it has become a unique form that emphasizes vertical upward, light and slender. Together with a large number of stained glass windows decorated in the church, it exudes a mysterious and magnificent atmosphere, as if it were in heaven. Gothic Cathedral, with its light, dexterous, towering and straight shape, is in sharp contrast with the heavy and stocky Roman Church.

In the period when Gothic art prevailed, the status of artists was separated from that of craftsmen, but gradually improved, and they were able to create their own artistic style. At the same time, artists have begun to learn to sign their works, which is unprecedented.
