Painting From 1200 To 1500 Is A Mirror Of Its Time, Marked By Deep Religiousness As Well As Progressive Tendencies, By Economic Prosperity As Well As Devastating Wars And Epidemics. A Religious Perspective Is Joined By Secular Themes, Motives, And Efforts To Achieve A Realistic Way Of Representation. These Developments Take Place In Book Illumination, Which Is Accessible To Rather Few People, As Well As In The Public Medium Of Frescoes And, Since Around 1300, Also In Panel Paintings. With Around 500 Works, Gothic Gives An Overview Of The Visual Art Of The Time.
