About 13th century Art
Gothic art and varied regional painting traditions offer important routes into European works of this century. Sacred figures, narrative scenes and carefully ordered compositions can be understood through the churches, books or private settings for which they were made.
A century is a chronological guide, not a movement. Follow the artist, region and subject links to understand an individual work more precisely. Dates here refer to the original artwork; a modern reproduction does not change that historical date.
