Answer 2

The answer is D: barbaric.

Gothic art is a form of medieval art and architecture that evolved from Romanesque art, and it is characterized by the use of the rib-vault and flying buttresses in architecture and human like figures and the use of a peculiar conjugation of light and darkness and stained glass in the visual arts.

Originally the word made reference to a “barbaric” form of representation or art. This is because barbaric tribes, called Gothic tribes, invaded Rome during the 5th century CE bringing about the decay of the Roman Empire and the Classical world.
