gothic art emerged in france in the mid-12th century. the basilica at saint-denis built by abbot suger was the first major building in the gothic style. new monastic orders, especially the cistercians and the carthusians, were important builders who developed distinctive styles which they disseminated across europe. the franciscan friars built functional city churches with huge open naves for preaching to large congregations. however regional variations remained important, even when, by the late 14th century, a coherent universal style known as international gothic had evolved, which continued until the late 15th century, and beyond in many areas. the principal media of gothic art were sculpture, panel painting, stained glass, fresco and the illuminated manuscript, though religious imagery was also expressed in metalwork, tapestries and embroidered vestments. the architectural innovations of the pointed arch and the flying buttress, allowed taller, lighter churches with large areas of glazed window. gothic art made full use of this new environment, telling a narrative story through pictures, sculpture, stained glass and soaring architecture. chartres cathedral is a prime example of this.
