Descripción
Refers to a style that was predominant in German-speaking regions in the 13th century in panel painting, wall painting, stained glass, and manuscript illuminations. The term comes from the German for "jagged style," and is characterized by its distinctive treatment of drapery, in which fabrics seem to have a nervous, living vitality and zig-zag or broken-fold forms.
