Abstract:

The imaginary Gothic. French cathedrals in Stanisław Wyspiański’s letters The article focuses on the role of imagination in Stanisław Wyspiański’s perception of the Gothic, which can be read out of his “French” letters to Lucjan Rydel, 19th-century poet and dramatist. During his journey to France in 1890, Wyspiański admires some Gothic cathedrals i.e. Chartres, Reims, Rouen, Amiens and personifies them metaphorically. The cathedral is a product of the imagination, she turns into amonumental theatrical stage, and its sculptures become dramatis personae of the play.

Abstract:

The Cathedral of Beauvais remains one of the most enigmatic and ambitious architectural undertakings of the Gothic era. Conceived to surpass all other cathedrals in height and grandeur, it achieved unprecedented verticality but collapsed under the weight of its own aspirations. This article reexamines Beauvais as a case study in Gothic engineering—its structural daring, tragic failures, and enduring legacy—through a multidisciplinary approach combining historical research, technical analysis, and philosophical interpretation. Structured in accordance with standard academic conventions, the art

Abstract:

This paper explores the pivotal role of flying buttresses in Gothic church architecture, emphasizing their structural innovation and symbolic significance. Gothic architecture, emerging in the 12th century, is renowned for its verticality and light-filled spaces, which were made possible by the advent of flying buttresses. These external supports allowed for the construction of thinner walls and larger windows, leading to the iconic luminosity and height of Gothic cathedrals. Through Notre-Dame de Paris, Chartres Cathedral, and Reims Cathedral, this paper examines how flying buttresses facilit

The Cathedral Church of the Resurrection is a spectacular, monumental structure having distinctive features of Gothic architecture located on Mall Road, Lahore.

Abstract:

Recent research has transformed our understanding of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries as a phase in the wider process of the Gothic Revival. While historical writing on the Gothic Revival had previously tended to see the significance of the period between 1790 and 1820 largely in terms of its academic contribution to the later development of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture, emphasizing especially the role of antiquarian scholarship in providing a basis of archaeological accuracy upon which subsequent architects could draw, more diverse angles have been opened up within

Cathedrals are buildings of cultural weight. They have frequently drawn attention from architectural historians, especially in the medieval era, as examples of Great Churches: leaders in artistic development or pioneers in engineering technology. When one thinks of Gothic buildings in <?page nr="300"?>particular, it is the cathedral that comes foremost to mind as example. Salisbury, Canterbury, York, and their fellows continue to draw both scholarly attention and popular attraction.

Abstract:

This article examines the architectural patronage of King Alfonso X and the notion of a ‘Court Style’ in thirteenth-century Gothic architecture. Following brief consideration of problems of evidence, I briefly sketch common characteristics of the architectural patronage of Alfonso’s royal rivals and allies across Europe and the Iberian Peninsula. This prompts reassessment of the king’s relationships with mendicant and Cistercian orders, and then detailed consideration of his financial contributions to the cathedrals of Toledo, Burgos and León. Although royal heraldry and imagery is prominent i

This thesis covers an immense territory of religious thought and architectural history. Its intent is to explain the emergence of the Early Gothic cathedral: this remarkable construction type first appeared at the St-Denis abbey church, and also at Sens Cathedral, near Paris, in the middle of the twelfth century. Early Gothic is defined as the phase up to Chartres Cathedral, the first High Gothic cathedral. This first chapter will introduce the central propositions of the thesis, and will explain several working definitions. It also commences an investigation into the function of the cathedral

Abstract:

Reims Cathedral holds a great deal of significance for the history of Gothic architecture, as well as the larger history of France as the coronation church. Given the historic significance of Reims, it is not surprising that much scholarship has been dedicated to the building’s sculpture, glass, and architecture. Most studies dealing with the cathedral’s architecture are based on stylistic and archaeological analysis, augmented by the use of surviving documents related to the construction. Although much fruitful work has been done in this vein, important questions about the building’s chronolo

This thesis examines the Great West Window at Exeter Cathedral designed by William Peckitt of York (1731-95). Peckitt was arguably the most important glass designer of the eighteenth century and undertook prestigious commissions at York, Oxford and elsewhere. In 1764 he was contracted by the Dean of Exeter, Jeremiah Milles, to supply glass to complete the restoration of the Cathedral’s glazing and to make the new window, which has often been considered to be his masterpiece. Peckitt’s Great West Window is no longer extant (although portions of it have been salvaged), having been replaced in 19

Abstract:

Despite its monumental scale, its position at a turning point in the development of Gothic architecture and its visionary spatial conception, the cathedral of Bourges has remained an anomaly of medieval architectural history. Conceived and built concurrently with the cathedral of Chartres, Bourges has persistently been viewed as the lesser of the two buildings. This thesis attempts to contextualize supposed irregularities of Bourges' design and to review existing historiographical notions of the building in order to rearticulate its artistic character and redefine its historic position.

This chapter starts by considering the secular (non-monastic) St Peter’s Cathedral, which existed from the seventh century.

The monastery was founded later in the tenth century, and, by following the scholarship of the American historian and theologian Arnold Klukas, some aspects of the liturgy performed by the monks are considered in relation to the Anglo-Saxon, Romanesque, and Gothic
