The Gothic architecture stands tall, as a reflection of a period that was both dark and divine. It is a style that is known for its grandeur and mystery, for its soaring spires and intricate details. It is a style that has inspired awe and wonder for centuries and continues to do so today.

The Gothic style emerged in the 12th century, during a time when Europe was undergoing great change. The style was a departure from the more simplistic Romanesque style that preceded it. Gothic architecture was characterized by its pointed arches, ribbed vaults, flying buttresses, and ornate decoration.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Gothic architecture is its ability to evoke emotion. The soaring height of the cathedrals, the intricate carvings and sculptures, and the stained glass windows all work together to create a sense of awe and wonder. It is as if the very stones themselves are reaching toward the heavens, in an attempt to capture the divine.

The Notre Dame de Paris is perhaps the most famous example of Gothic architecture. The cathedral is a masterpiece of the style, with its towering spires, intricate carvings, and stunning stained glass windows. It is a testament to the power of the style to evoke emotion and inspire wonder.

But Gothic architecture is not just limited to cathedrals and churches. The style has been used in a variety of buildings, including castles, palaces, and even universities. The University of Glasgow, for example, is a stunning example of Gothic architecture. The university's main building features pointed arches, elaborate carvings, and soaring spires. It is a testament to the versatility of the style, and its ability to inspire wonder in a variety of contexts.

Gothic architecture also has a darker side, one that is often associated with horror and fear. The style has been used in countless horror movies and novels, as a symbol of darkness and evil. The Gothic architecture's association with the macabre is not without reason. Its pointed arches and soaring spires can evoke a sense of foreboding and unease.

But the Gothic style is not just about fear and darkness. It is a reflection of a period of great change and transformation. The style emerged during a time when Europe was experiencing rapid growth and expansion. It was a time of great innovation and creativity, as well as a time of war and turmoil.

In many ways, the gothic architecture reflects these contradictions. It is a style that is both grand and intricate, dark and divine. It is a style that is both of its time and timeless.

In the end, gothic architecture is a testament to the power of human creativity and innovation. It is a style that continues to inspire wonder and awe and to evoke emotion in all who experience it. The cathedrals and buildings that were created during this period still stand today, as a reminder of a time of great change and transformation.

As we journey through Gothic architecture, we are reminded of the power of beauty and wonder, and of the human desire to capture the divine. We are reminded of a time of both darkness and light, and of the power of creativity to transform and inspire. Gothic architecture stands tall, as a testament to the human spirit, and to the enduring power of art and design.

Happy May Day from Katia Plant Scientist! May Day is an ancient European festival that marks the transition from spring to summer with roots in the Roman festival of Floralia, which honoured the Goddess of flowers Flora. In the UK, May Day is traditionally celebrated with dancing around a Maypole and Morris dancing, as well as feasting and drinking outdoors. I am dressed as a "May Queen", who is a young maiden from the community chosen to "rule over" the May Day festivities. May Day celebrates nature's fertility and joyful awakening in springtime, and it has become a popular holiday for neo-pagans across Europe. The Russet Apple Tree (Malus domestica) adds another halo of blossoms to my flower crown. #mayday #mayday2023 #mayqueen #whiteblouse #pinknecklace #flowercrown #flowers #spring #longhair #europeanculture #folktradition #may #may1st #springtime #floralia #appleblossom #appletree #europeanwoman #britishfolktraditions #ruralengland #katia_plantscientist #cottagecore

Maria Lai - Italian Contemporary Art  Maria Lai (Ulassai, 1919 – Cardedu, 2013) was one of the most singular voices in Italian art from World War II on. Her special talent for drawing led her in 1939 to enrol in the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, the only woman in those years to study sculpture under Arturo Martini. In the fifties, she moved to Rome, where she was able to observe various contemporary artistic developments, first through contacts with Art Informel and then, in the next decade, with the emergence of Arte Povera and Conceptual Art. From these movements, she derived an interest in materials, both organic and those related to pre-industrial civilization, and in the gesture as a process, filtering these interests through an absolutely individual sensibility. From this period the relationship with the traditions of her land became central to her work, in a conceptual outlook with an anthropological matrix. Together with drawing, her output was enriched with subjects and materials close to an ancient, popular culture as in the case of her sculptures of bread, in itself a plain and perishable product, closely associated with everyday life and women’s work. #art #artist #contemporaryartist #visualart #visualculture #italianart #italianartist #fineart #artworks #collage #collageart #assablageart #assamblage #mixedmediaart #conceptualart #europeanculture #culture #contemparyart #italiancontemporaryart #blog #artblog @expositionblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CPQPvo6Hy1h/?utm_medium=tumblr

Drinking ayahuasca allows the dreams to unconscious. Dreams? Like the Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare. Or like migrants to Europe. But Europeans mostly refuse them because the immigrants do not absorb the European culture. My blog today

England’s Green and Pleasant Land

Respectfully sharing some photos of treasured landmarks in England, in light of the appalling tragedy in France. 

We must preserve important cultural landmarks!

(ABOVE: My personal favourite, the glorious Westminster Abbey).

Please do visit, when you have the time. 

I hope our government can assist France in rebuilding Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris.
