Collection: Late Medieval

The 13th and 14th centuries marked a shift in European art as medieval styles evolved toward the Renaissance. In Italy, artists like Duccio, Giotto, and Simone Martini brought greater naturalism, emotion, and depth, moving beyond flat Byzantine forms. Meanwhile, Gothic art thrived across Western Europe in manuscripts, cathedral sculpture, and stained glass, known for intricate detail and soaring elegance. Religious themes stayed central, but artists increasingly explored individuality and human experience within sacred stories. This period laid the groundwork for future artistic revolutions.
