What Medieval art is still around today?

       The medieval style of art is still around today for example the Cathedral of Notre Dame is still standing and is one of the biggest and most popular pieces of medieval architecture; however it was built in the 12th century and had been threatened to be torn down. This beautiful cathedral is also located in the "City of Lights" or Paris. When the form of Gothic art swept around the world, the title was invented as an insult to the art but, instead replaced the Romanesque art almost completely! Also while the Notre Dame Cathedral stands tall and proud, while attracting so many tourist from round the world; there are still many medieval cathedrals that are great examples of medieval European art still around. 

        Another style of art that is still around today would be the techniques we use to make art ourselves. For example the way that we make paint was originally formed in medieval times. The way we make sculptures is also a great example, you see, because we learned our ways from the artwork before us and the medieval artwork is very unique and inspires a lot of artists still today. So, if you think about it everything we have learned about art was given to us by a different time period and certainly realistic paintings and sculptures because this idea was given to us by Giotto! Medieval art is still all around us and always will be.
