| Abstract | In November 2009, the V&A's Medieval and Renaissance galleries open. In four linked sessions, the V&A (in collaboration with the Courtauld Institute) aims to place its collections and displays into a wider scholarly context. Each session is titled after one of the four medieval spaces in the new galleries. This session, 'The Rise of Gothic 1200-1350', looks at how gothic architecture, both real and imagined, acted as an organising system for complex decoration, encouraging sophisticated interpretation on the part of the viewer. It also picks up on the role of two key media displayed in the new gallery - stained glass and embroidery. |
