Welcome to r/Gothic!

This is a community for the sharing and discussion of Gothic-era art and architecture (from the 12th-15th century AD). Sculptures, frescoes, stained glass, and of course architecture should all be posted here, as well as any other art forms fitting the style--even manuscripts and illuminations.

This is not a community for discussion of Goth culture or sharing Goth products. If that's why you're here, please check out r/Goth!

Alternative names for Romanesque and Gothic architecture

1 Upvotes

It is well-known that the names Romanesque and Gothic were given to these styles by the Renaissance scholars, and strictly speaking, they aren't very suitable for them (because Romanesque architects weren't any closer to Rome than any other "small Renaissance" of the Middle Ages, and Gothic architecture has nothing to do with Goths). So, if you had to create different names for these two, what would they be?
