Gothic Paintings to Help the Study of Gothic Literature

Click on the button above to download ten famous gothic paintings to help students engage with the study of gothic literature. The first slide contains questions that should hopefully lead to some decent discussion and debate:

• What subjects are depicted?
• What aspects of each painting are emphasised?
• What colours are used?
• What contrasts can you see?
• What emotions are conveyed?
• What three words best describe each painting?

I’ve included a few examples below...

➡️ You can access a separate guide to gothic literature by clicking here

➡️ You can access a full study booklet by clicking here

Hope the resource is useful –
