Gothic:
This movement is usually pertaining to a style of architecture, originating in France in the middle of the 12th Century. Gothic architecture is very detailed, and usually contains detailed woodwork and stonework (Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History). Benedetto Antelami, born in 1150, was an Italian sculptor of the Gothic movement. He is considered to be one of the greatest of his time. His style shows the purpose of his artwork, and the message it shows. His techniques apply to the movement, by how he features the scene in his sculpture. The content is the deposition from the cross. The layout focuses on center, which is also the main point of the artwork. This sculpture is made out of marble. I believe that this sculpture shows the style of the gothic movement, by how he shows detail in his artwork (Encyclopedia Britannica).
