The Gothic style is an architectural and decorative arts style that originated in the 12th century in France and spread throughout Europe in the following centuries. It is characterized by its pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and richly decorated surfaces.
The term "Gothic" originally referred to the Goths, a Germanic tribe that was associated with the period of decline of the Roman Empire. In the 16th century, it was used to describe the medieval architecture that was considered to be barbaric and crude compared to the classical styles of ancient Greece and Rome.
Later, in the 18th century, the term "Gothic" was revived to describe literature and art that was characterized by a dark, supernatural, and mysterious atmosphere. This period of Gothic literature is often called "Gothic horror" and is associated with writers such as Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, and Bram Stoker.
Today, the term "Gothic" is used to describe a wide range of cultural phenomena, from fashion and music to video games and movies.
