Carolingian
style art and architecture is generally considered as one
of the first visible signs of what would later come to be
called German art. Examples of this influence are the impressive
palace chapel in Aachen, built in the 9th Century, or the
paintings and sculptures created during the Saxon Dynasty
(late 10th Century to early 11th Century): the manuscript
illustrations and miniatures of the era are especially interesting.
Between the mid 13th Century and the late
15th Century a strong gothic style marks the evolution of
art, with significant examples in the magnificent sculptures
that adorn the halls of the castles of Strasbourg and Naumburg,
or in the Cologne Cathedral, where French influence is evident.
Still, German artists and craftsmen modified the overly-elaborate
French style in favour of more simple and less ornate works
of art.
