What's mean Gothic?
The combination Gothic romance represents a union of two of the major influences in the development of European culture, the Roman Empire and the Germanic tribes that invaded it. The Roman origins of romance must be sought in the etymology of that word, but we can see clearly that Gothic is related to the name Goth used for one of those invading Germanic tribes. The word Gothic, first recorded in 1611 in a reference to the language of the Goths, was extended in sense in several ways, meaning "Germanic," "medieval, not classical," "barbarous," and also an architectural style that was not Greek or Roman. Horace Walpole applied the word Gothic to his novel The Castle of Otranto, a Gothic Story (1765) in the sense "medieval, not classical." From this novel filled with scenes of terror and gloom in a medieval setting descended a literary genre still popular today; from its subtitle descended the name for it.
Re: Gothic Architecture Sketches !!
BTW, can anyone explain what is the meaning of Gothic style? is it from Spain or Italy? I read that Goths were original inhabitants of Spain?
Re: Gothic Architecture Sketches !!
u mean style or art?
Re: Gothic Architecture Sketches !!
Yes both style of arts and people, though BM explained it a little.
Re: Gothic Architecture Sketches !!
Gothic art was a style of Medieval art that developed in France out of Romanesque art in the mid-12th century, led by the concurrent development of Gothic architecture. It spread to all of Western Europe, but took over art more completely north of the Alps, never quite effacing more classical styles in Italy. In the late 14th century, the sophisticated court style of International Gothic developed, which continued to evolve until the late 15th century. In many areas, especially Germany, Late Gothic art continued well into the 16th century, before being subsumed into Renaissance art. Primary media in the Gothic period included sculpture, panel painting, stained glass, fresco and illuminated manuscripts.

Re: Gothic Architecture Sketches !!
The Indo-Saracenic Revival (also known as Indo-Gothic, Mughal-Gothic, Neo-Mughal, Hindoo or Hindu-Gothic) was an architectural style movement by British architects in the late 19th century in British India. It drew elements from native Indo-Islamic and Indian architecture, and combined it with the Gothic revival and Neo-Classical styles favoured in Victorian Britain. The style gained momentum in the west with the publication of the various views of India by William Hodges and the Daniell duo, (William Daniell and his uncle Thomas Daniell) from about 1795. Saracenic was a term used by the ancient Romans to refer to a people who lived in desert areas in and around the Roman province of Arabia, and who were distinguished from Arabs.

Re: Gothic Architecture Sketches !!
BM the style seems to take archeture from old Hindu temples. At first fight, I'm unable to find impact of Mughal architecture on these buildings.
Re: Gothic Architecture Sketches !!
Dome Architecture Is The Base For Mughal Or Islamic Architecture ... Best Example Is Humayun Tomb Or Taj Mahal But Arches Were Designed On Gothic Style !!
