		Beginning in Paris in the 1370s and continuing until about 1400 at the court of Jean de France, Duc de Berry, the manuscript illuminators of the International Gothic style progressively developed the spatial dimensions of their illustrations, until the picture became a veritable window opening on an actual world.
		The last flowering of flamboyant architecture occurred between the end of the 15th century and the 1530s in the work of Martin Chambiges and his son Pierre, who were responsible for a series of grand cathedral facades, including the west front of Troyes Cathedral and the transept facades of Senlis and Beauvais cathedrals.
		Other regional styles of secular architecture also flourished, from the Venetian Gothic of the Doges’ Palace (begun 1345?) and the Ca d’Oro (1430?) to the Tudor Gothic of Hampton Court (1515-1536) on the Thames and the Collegiate Gothic, which at Oxford lingered into the early 17th century.

		The cathedrals also retained and expanded the loveliest creation of French Romanesque architecture, the chevet, the complex of forms at the east end of the church that includes the semicircular aisle known as the ambulatory, the chapels that radiate from it, and the lofty polygonal apse encircling the end of the sanctuary.

	Gothic Art and Architecture
		Architecture was the dominant expression of the Gothic Age.
		The particular phase of Gothic architecture that was to lead to the creation of the northern cathedrals, however, was initiated in the early 1140s in the construction of the chevet of the royal abbey church of Saint-Denis, the burial church of the French kings and queens near the outskirts of Paris.

	Gothic Art And Architecture
		At the technical level Gothic architecture is characterized by the ribbed vault (a vault in which stone ribs carry the vaulted surface), the pointed arch, and the flying buttress (normally a half arch carrying the thrust of a roof or vault across an aisle to an outer pier or buttress).
		If one examines the architecture outside north and northeastern France, one finds, first, that buildings in what might be called a Romanesque style continued up to the end of the 12th and into the 13th century and, second, that the appreciation of the developments in France was often partial and haphazard.
		Another typical feature of Rayonnant architecture is the thinning of vertical supporting members, the enlargement of windows, and the combination of the triforium gallery and the clerestory until walls are largely undifferentiated screens of tracery, mullions (vertical bars of tracery dividing windows into sections), and glass.

	[Project Rastko] THE HISTORY OF SERBIAN CULTURE - Vojislav Korac: Architecture in medieval Serbia
		Therein, the long tradition of Serbian architecture in the conception of the entire structure was respected: the grouping of areas into a closed entirety, and attention to proportions with an emphasis on the vertical aspects of the structure.
		The harmony in the forms and volumes, and the architecture of the surfaces and the apertures is done according to the original concepts of middle Byzantine architecture.
		Two traits of Morava architecture are important: its architectonic decoration as an absolute novelty, and its strict symmetry in the conception of the whole and of the details, thus departing from the late Byzantine conception of harmony and returning to the forms of earlier architecture.

	Gothic Art and Architecture
		Gothic Art and Architecture, is a style in European art and architecture that flourished from about 1140 to the end of the 16th century in many areas.
		Although a vast number of secular monuments were built in the style, it was as church architecture that the Gothic idiom reached its greatest heights.
		Beginning in Paris in the 1370s and continuing until about 1400 at the court of Jean, duc de Berry, manuscript illuminators working in the International Gothic style progressively developed the spatial dimensions of their illustrations, until the picture became a veritable window opening on an actual world.

	Norfolk Churches
		This is something of a curiosity, because the windows appear to predate the arcade; but Pevsner suggests that a bequest of the 1370s may account for both, the first late in style and the second early.
		That on the north side has been disrupted, of course; and even before the Berneys came along with their mausoleum there was a massive early 16th century mausoleum, and although only the frame of this survives it is so like the Bedingfield monument at Oxborough it is probably by the same hand.
		St Nicholas has a fair number of hatchments for such a small church, and the George III royal arms are still set above the chancel arch in a pedimented frame, which is a curiosity.

	The Basilica of St. Anthony
		The construction of the first nucleus of the Basilica, a Franciscan church with only a single nave and a short transept, began in 1238; two lateral naves were added and it was eventually transformed into the amazing structure that we admire today.
		You can notice straightaway that the architecture is quite Gothic, and that there are two distinct parts: the nave (where we are now) and the apse beyond the transept.
		This elegant and spacious Gothic area was completed in the 1370s by one of the most important Venetian sculptors and architects of the day, Andriolo de Santi.

		The whole is brought to a finish by the church of the Holy Virgin on the south side, with its large narthex, chapel and vestibule built under the care of Archbishop Danilo II (1328/1330).
		From the outside, the Patriarchate is a panorama of forms characteristic of the Serbian architecture of the times.
		The church of the Holy Archangels in Lesnovo (1341, narthex 1349, founded by Despot Oliver) has two parts of two different conceptions: a church in the narrow sense and a narthex.

		It was woven by Nicolas Bataille (flourished late 14th century) in the 1370s and bears a religious narrative of the Revelation of St John the Divine.
		Shortly after the Gobelins workshop was opened, another major state-subsidized but private factory was established at Beauvais in 1664; it made tapestries for the nobility and rich bourgeoisie.
		Their monumental size and bulky, innovative materials clearly relate to the austerity and scale of modern architecture.

	Ferns Castle, County Wexford
		Architectural details, however, suggest that it was not completed until the mid 13th century, when it was held by William de Valance.
		The castle evidently ceased being a residence in the early 14th century, for the ditch appears to have been filled by about 1310, while the building was in a bad state of repair by 1324.
		It was captured by the O'Tooles in 1331, recovered by Bishop Charnell shortly afterwards, and seems to have stayed in the hands of the Bishopric of Ferns until the 1370s when it was taken by the MacMurroughs.

		In the 1370s, the charismatic but brutal Turkic warlord Timur, also known as Tamerlane in the West, swept out of Central Asia and conquered a vast territory that extended from Anatolia—in present-day Turkey—to the borders of China.
		Despite its imposing quality and intricate detail, grand architecture is seldom the primary subject of Chinese painting and often serves merely as a decorative backdrop to human events and activities.
		This period marked the first great efflorescence of Chinese architectural painting and set the standard for centuries to come, with many later works claiming to preserve the appearance of lost originals from the Song and Yuan dynasties.

		Elizabeth (1741- 61) reverted to more ornate architecture in her commissions, favoring the designs of Bartolomeo Rastrelli, born in Italy and raised amid the creation of Versailles.
		While the tenets of socialist realism remained treacherously ill-defined (an artist could be exiled or worse for failing to adhere to them, however earnest the intent), they involved a return to realism along the lines of the 19thcentury peredvizhniki, as well as a depiction of `reality in its revolutionary development', as it was infamously decreed.
		Experimentation in architecture was an immediate casualty of the socialist realist doctrine, as monumental neoclassicism replaced constructivism.

		At the peak of its efficiency in the early 16th century, the Arsenal employed some 16,000 people who apparently were able to produce nearly one ship each day, and could fit out, arm, and provision a newly-built galley with standardized parts on a production-line basis not seen again until the Industrial Revolution.
		The staff of the Arsenal also developed new firearms at an early date, beginning with bombards in the 1370s and numerous small arms against the Genoese a few years later.
		Improvements in handguns led to their muzzle velocity (and therefore their ability to penetrate armor) exceeding that of the crossbow.

		This phase of architecture in England is sometimes described as 'Decorated', along with later work, but I prefer the term Geometric as appropriate to the 1245-1280 period and clearly distinguished from what follows.
		Around 1320/30 it appears in French architecture and became the most distinctive feature of its later development, sometimes burying whole façades in flame-like tracery, hence the French term for it, Flamboyant (literally flame-like, but the English use of the word is certainly appropriate for it too).
		Edward III, however, had no choice of father other than his own: his own monarchy had to be created by making the most of the limited sympathy that could be gathered from the premature demise of Edward II and allegiance with his enemies' enemies.

	Trier--Germany's Oldest and "Most Splendid City" by John Dornberg
		The Dom St. Nikolaus (St. Nicholas Cathedral), founded as a collegiate church in 1188, is a masterpiece of Gothic brick architecture, renowned for its 22 monumental stained glass windows from 1430 to 1460 and for the 13th-century sandstone figures on its rood screen.
		In the 1370s, after he had won control of the Brandenburg march from the Wittelsbach dynasty and conferred the title of margrave and elector on his son Wenceslaus, Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV enlarged the castle and designated it as his second capital and residence, after the Hradcin in Prague.
		The cathedral is not only a masterpiece of medieval architecture but a repository of stunning ecclesiastical art, of which the finest objects are the intricate stone carvings on the rood screen, the choir pews, sculpted stone candelabras, and the early- 15th-century stained-glass windows.

		The Pharaohs of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt and their contemporary Kings of Babylon, of Amorite origin, brought good governance without too much tyranny, favoured elegant art and architecture without overblown exaggeration, painstakingly achieved a good general balance that lasted only a short while.
		Farther east, the Indus Valley civilization was in a period of decline, possibly as a result of intense, ruinous flooding.
		These actually became very colorful times, with new emphasis on grandiose architecture, new clothing fashions, vivid diplomatic correspondence on clay tablets, renewed economic exchanges, and the New Kingdom of Egypt playing the role of the main superpower.
