What are the hidden mysteries behind the depiction of the birth of Jesus in contemporary nativity scenes? Were riotous festivities and ball games held in the Middle Ages in the same cathedrals we admire today for their architectural splendor? What iconographic relationships link Jesus Christ with characters such as Moses and Alexander the Great? If in its origins the term "Gothic" was used to describe an "art of barbarians" because it departed from classical aesthetics, from the nineteenth century to the present day the vision changed radically. This artistic current not only gives us a vision of the Christian Middle Ages, loaded with biblical symbolism, but also reveals striking similarities with our time: from egocentrism to superstitions, including humor and narratives starring fantastic beasts. Through erudite and accessible prose, this informative guide uncovers the secrets of Gothic iconography, revealing how each detail harbors a metaphorical message that transcends the purely visual.
