Gothic cathedral was the best evidence of quality Christian art that existed in the Middle ages. The Gothic architecture was first designed at saint-Denis in 1140 after which a full revolution of the cathedral design took place. Gothic art was an improvement of the previous style called the Romanesque architecture. The art consisted of thin walls large stained glass windows which flooded the interior with sufficient light. The ceiling was also modified and beautified to bring a unique interior visual experience. The artwork was great and to some extent it was appealing to the eye. However, I don’t like it because of its heavy masonry ceiling which indeed exerted a lot of pressure against the thin walls of the building. This reduced the stability of the structure which led to collapsing of the structure. The problem was however solved by the Gothic designers.

The Gothic architecture and designed was to fit the Biblical art which means all the improvements made for the congregation. The thin walls were for the purpose of increasing the interior space and the high tall was made the outlook to be awesome. The Gothic was highly decorated using column statues of saints. Holy families were also represented in the statues which were meant to represent various Biblical themes.

The designed was done by the medieval masons who were highly skilled in designing churches and cathedrals. The mason master charged the whole process by supervising the less skilled workers. The team was able to skillfully use of flying buttress which made it possible to design the tall structure. They designed it in different phases which all followed a successful improvement.
