Since the word "gothic" is old it has many different meanings. Gothic literature is one of them but another famous type is gothic art such as manuscripts, paintings, decorative pieces and sculptures. Ever since the 12th century gothic art played a huge role and people began to notice. It started spreading throughout the region because of its "religious feel". Painters and sculptors cared very little about the reason for the art work but rather for the realistic visual and the emotional feeling of it. During the 1800s anything with the term "gothic" became into fashion and was highly popular.
