Please add me to your list.
My favorite Gothic structure is the Dom Cathedral in Cologne Germany.
My favorite artist of the time is Albrecht Durer. The amount of detail in his works are incredible.

I have never been to Germany; there will be much to see when I get there.

Durer is really of the High Renaissance of the 16th century. His figures are well proportioned (influenced by the Italians), even if his women are a bit Teutonic. His detail is amazing.

For those who don't know Durer, here is his Adam and Eve and St. Jerome in his Study.
