Giorgio Vasari coined the term "Gothic" in the 16th century, using it to describe the style of architecture that developed in Northern France and spread throughout Europe from the late Middle Ages until the 16th century. He intended it as a derogatory term, associating it with the barbaric Gothic tribes who had sacked Rome in the 5th century, to criticize what he saw as the disorderly and overly ornate qualities of this architecture compared to the harmony and simplicity of Renaissance architecture.
