Las catedrales goticas y el fin de la edad de la piedra

Abstract

In the framewrok of the medieval religious architecture, the author tries to undertake an aspect that has been only superficially dealt with, namely, the element medieval European architects used to make their works, i.e., stone. Gothic art would be the proof that the man-stone relationship did not end with the Neolithic, nor with the advent of the so-called Bronze Age, but it continued in the uninterrupted realization of architecture works that conclude, reaching its highest expression point, in the twelfth and thirteenth-century cathedrals.
