Gothique rayonnant (Shining Gothic), from the second third of 13th century to the first half of 14th century, marked by triforia with windows and a general preference for stained glass instead of stone walls.Some buildings of this phase, like Chartres Cathedral, have to be subsumed to Early Gothic, others, like the Reims Cathedral and the western parts of Amiens Cathedral, have to be subsumed to High Gothic. Gothique Classique or ( Classic Gothic), from the 1180s to the first third of 13th century, marked by basilicas without lateral tribunes and with triforia without windows.Gothique primitif ( Primary Gothic) or Gothique premier (First Gothic), from short before 1140 until shortly after 1180, marked by tribunes above the aisles of basilicas.The new techniques also permitted the addition of larger windows, including enormous stained glass windows, which fill the cathedrals with light.įrench scholars divide the Gothic of their country into four phases: Its main characteristics are verticality, or height, and the innovative use of the rib vault and flying buttresses and other architectural innovations to distribute the weight of the stone structures to supports on the outside, allowing unprecedented height and volume.

I emphasize that it can be used for details in concept art if it is about medieval Gothic letters in some period object (book, Parchment, etc)įirst, I have created a template with exact dimensions to perform the Gothic Calligraphy of the 12th and 13th centuries, periods of the emergence of what we know as the Gothic period in Medieval art and architecture, although the term was coined in the Renaissance! (Art history fact, inevitable).

The tools can be downloaded from the following link. An observation, this that I will share with you is for users who have some Clippy points to access the material I worked for a long time in the elaboration in the values of sensitivity, directionality, stroke, end of stroke, curves based on period manuscripts (XII - XIII centuries) so that it can have that naturalness of a Medieval pen, hehehehehe, so I think just have put a value (virtual).In other words, we will take a trip back to the 12th and 13th centuries in Medieval Europe with its great splendor. If you like calligraphy, Gothic ornaments as much as I do and you want to take a trip back in time, stay in this tutorial that I am going to share very interesting things with this tool and Template that I have created, based on the Calligraphy of real manuscripts period preserved to this day.
