Gothic architecture in all of its sublime glory focuses on height, transcendence and light. Its original roots give us insight into a world where Heavenly light reigned supreme. From ornate doors, labyrinths, rose windows, gargoyles, life sized statues and towering spired steeples, gothic architecture speaks to us of a grandiose vision of life often missing from art today.
