>Gothic architecture was born in France
>named after an unrelated Germanic tribe
Why?
Gothic architecture was born in France
It couldn't be that other Europeans took inspiration from Gothic architecture when building their churches, no...
franks are germanic too
renaissance soyboys coined the name
perhaps the architects were visigothic
gothic architecture used to be called opus francigenum(french/frankish work)
the word "gothic" was coined centuries later by an italian architect to describe it as barbaric when renaissance and baroque architecture were the new hot shit
Yeah if I'm not mistaken the thing that happened was in renaissance soylets didn't like it so they started calling it after a barbarian tribe as an insult
Stupid italians always trying to shame us for our barbarian origins
Based Italians.
why italians are keeping the man down
Because history was helluva ride. Tribes came and went.
Because Italians started fantasizing about ancient romans and greeks. They started considering them to be the epitome of civilization and thus jerked off to their architecture. So they called the non-roman architecture in France "gothic" to denote it as barbarian architecture as it wasn't roman. Just like the ancient gothic tribes that the roman described as barbarians. That's the reason why.
that's not the reason. Goths have nothing to do with gothic architecture.
pretty much
literally inferiority complex.
The fled into the past where they were the big dog and the current big dogs just subhumans.
It saved them their ego in a time where they were entirely meaningless.
there is only one Gothic in my heart
pathetic behaviour especially considering they're just an inferior version of greeks
There should be 2 you mofo
Gotland is maximum comfy
Based. Gothic style is shit, renaissance and baroque architecture are actually aesthetic.
Only Vasari said that, italians built a lot of shit in gothic style. Stop talking out of your asses, dumb fucks
if you want to become depressed alcoholic like some of my ancestors from gotland. best thing they did was to move out of that prison island
don't care, screw you luigi
only North Italy built gothic stuff
pretty the term "gothic" which was meant as an insult came from a South or Central Italian butthurt brown manlet
no he was a northerner from arezzo
stop using the south italian bogeyman, all italians are brown
okay pierre
