Gothic painting

For the vastness of the topic, I can only think of leaving some significant examples.

The main idea, do not forget, it remains to provide supplementary material for lessons and for your personal work. But I aspire

the other, leave you with some "unrest", that is, with that "bug" to gnaw, asking for more and more material explanations, and that pushes us more and more research to know ...

For Stained and Iluminuras material has left you in previous posts.

leave only for those who lack the example, perhaps the most spectacular!

Here are some of the examples needed:

1) For the strength of Italian painting - three examples related to the original Gothic and full :

Duccio, Virgin on the Throne (central part of the altarpiece), before 1319

GIOTTO , Adoration of the Magi, Fresh (Basilica), prior to 1336

2) For the strength of Flemish painting (later - the late Gothic) :

- A triptych of MASTER Flemalle -Robert Campin, the first major Flemish Gothic artist:

The Altarpiece of Mérode, c. 1425
