Summary: During the late Middle Ages France had risen to a position of great power and influence in Europe. It was from France that the Gothic style, which found its most perfect expression in the soaring cathedrals in and around París, spread over many parts of northern Europe. Due to the strength of the tradition, the Gothic style of painting, characterized by sharp, precise outlines, finely wrought details, and bold patterns of color, persisted in France long after the Renaissance masters in Italy and Flanders had revolutionized the course of painting in other parts of Europe.
