Gothic art originated in Europe between the 12th-14th centuries during a period of economic and social transformation. The term "Gothic" was used by Italian humanists to describe this style as barbaric compared to Romanesque art. Gothic art first emerged around 1140 with the choir of the Abbey of Saint-Denis in France and later spread throughout Europe, eventually reaching Italy. Key characteristics of Gothic architecture included vaulted ceilings, large stained glass windows, and ornate structures supported by flying buttresses.
