Is Gwyn harder than Artorias?

LOL, Artorias took me several tries, Gwynn only once. With Gwynn, I walked in all prepared for lightning damage, only to discover he deals all fire damage. I had time to run around the arena with the menu open and switch out all of my gear. I don't think I even got hit once, just randomly running around.
