In this book, Robert Bork offers a sweeping reassessment of late Gothic architecture
and its fate in the Renaissance. In a chronologically organized narrative covering
the whole of western and central Europe, he demonstrates that the Gothic design tradition
remained inherently vital throughout the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, creating
spectacular monuments in a wide variety of national and regional styles. Bork argues
that the displacement of this Gothic tradition from its long-standing position of
artistic leadership in the years around 1500 reflected the impact of three main external
forces: the rise of a rival architectural culture that championed the use of classical
forms with a new theoretical sophistication; the appropriation of that architectural
language by patrons who wished to associate themselves with papal and imperial Rome;
and the chaos of the Reformation, which disrupted the circumstances of church construction
on which the Gothic tradition had formerly depended. Bork further argues that art
historians have much to gain from considering the character and fate of late Gothic
architecture, not only because the monuments in question are intrinsically fascinating,
but also because examination of the way their story has been told?and left untold,
in many accounts of the "Northern Renaissance" can reveal a great deal about schemes
of categorization and prioritization that continue to shape the discipline even in
the twenty-first century
