Abstract
In a recent article from the distinguished pen of Geheimrat Adolph Goldschmidt, the art of England was shown to preserve the north European aspect of the early medieval artistic spirit throughout the Gothic period. In the tenth century the nordic ornamental manner, mixing with classical motives from the south, produced in England an exuberant, dynamic, decorative style. Attenuated forms, rich, flat decoration, and strong movement remained the outstanding characteristics of English art for centuries to come. The restless multiplicity of structural forms used decoratively in English Gothic architecture is, according to Professor Goldschmidt, an expression of this nordic spirit.1
