Was Neo-Gothic/Medievalist art life-denying? Was it a period of decline for the arts? How can you summarise it philosophically?

It is confusing because the source material it uses often seems quite beautiful, as in pic related or franco-flemish music (renaissance technically but these musicians didn't have classical source material unlike other artists then).

I don't know what you mean by "art" here, Architecture, Literature, painting?
It changes the question quite a lot in my view.

If by art you mean visual arts and if you take religiousity as life denying, then yes.

Pretty much anything. You can explain why the theme would have different effects on each art if you like.

Not just visual. Is Frankenstein not the most famous example?

This is just something that unskilled jealous modern artists like to tell themselves to feel like they matter/are doing anything memorable.

Well considering Gothic Architecture is considered by most architects and art historians to be the pinnacle of Architectual aesthetic achievement, I'd say no. You'd have to be a serious fucking mongoloid to think that the gothic movement wasn't based as fuck.
