During the Gothic era, the classical aesthetical canon of beauty was rejected.

In terms of female human beauty, a woman whose appearance conforms to these tenets is still called a "classical beauty" or said to possess a "classical beauty", whilst the foundations laid by Greek and Roman artists have also supplied the standard for male beauty in western civilization.

During the Gothic era, the classical aesthetical canon of beauty was rejected as sinful.

Later, the Renaissance and Humanism rejected this view, and considered beauty as a product of rational order and harmony of proportions.

This point of view over Gothic art lasted until Romanticism, in the 19th century.
