Gothic Painters and Illuminators

Painters and manuscript illuminators of the Gothic period in Europe, from the twelfth to the fourteenth century, whose work in altarpieces, panels and illustrated books carried the elongated figures, gold grounds and linear grace of Gothic art before the Renaissance changed painting. The group holds artists who worked in the Gothic manner in France and Italy, among them court illuminators in Paris and panel painters in Florence, whose pages and panels bridge the Romanesque and the Renaissance.
