Gothic sculpture and painting

Materials used were normally stone and wood

Reliefs were sculpted on the façades of temples

Especially on columns, typanum and archivolts

They also made free-standing sculptures

Like Romanesque, Gothic sculpture had a didactic purpose, but Gothic figures weremore expresive than Romanesque ones.

Themes were religious: Christ as pantocrator

The Virgin with Child

Saints and scenes from the Bible

Paintings were mainly done on Wood orcanvas

At the beginning figures were verystylised

but Little by Little they became more realistic

Religious themes predominated but in thefinal phases artists began to paint scenes of

the daily life and portraits
