Gothic Illuminated Manuscript I and Gothic Illuminated Manuscript II paintings are inspired by new gothic art, which is rooted in the Romanticist interpretation of the Gothic Art movement of the middle ages. The use of gold and silver is one of the major hallmarks of the Illuminated Manuscripts in the original Gothic Art.
Romanticism influenced art, music, literature, and philosophy in the second half 18th century in Europe, as a revolt against aristocratic social and political norms and the scientific rationalization of nature. The Romantic movement stressed the emotive experience, including trepidation, horror, and the awe experienced in confronting the sublime found in untamed nature and the picturesque.
New gothic art is a modern adaptation of the elements from the original gothic art movement, to the Romantic interpretation of gothic art and is often spirit-based, rather than conceptual-based as in most contemporary art.
These Gothic Illuminated Manuscript Paintings are 12″ x 12″ each and are on stretch canvas and mixed media with text from Goth Style Secrets.
