	Architecture of the Gothic
		Architectural sculpture was given an important role when Parler was in charge of construction, as is evident in the corbels, the passageway lintels and, in particular, the busts in the lower and upper triforia.
		A number of highly skilled stone-carvers and future master masons were trained in the workshop; they later developed Parler's ideas, opening the way for the Late Gothic for the course of the next century.Peter Parler handed over direction of the workshop to his son Wenzel in 1397.
		While these three master masons were in charge, work on the nave continued and the Great Tower on the south side was completed, including the gable of the south transept, which spans from the tower to the south staircase.

	SICILY, Sicilian Art and Architecture - BuySicilian - The Fifteenth Century
		This was the result of the three distinct vertical divisions:the ground floor was for the services, stalls and kitchens; the grand piano nobile for the owner and reception rooms; and the attic housed the servants or cadet members of the family.
		Sicilian architecture of the 15C was not sustained by humanism and remained somewhat inaccessible to Renaissance ideas; but great changes were wrought by two artists working in a mature Renaissance style who arrived in Palermo in the middle years of the century.
		Inherited from Arab architecture and frequently found in Norman buildings in Sicily, the squinch was still being used in the 16C:the Cappella Naselli (built between 1517 and 1555) in S. Francesco, Comiso, and the remarkable Cappella dei Marinai in the Santuario dell'Annunziata, Trapani, are two instances out of many.

		The outward pressures of the lofty ceiling were absorbed not by the walls, as had always been the case previously, but instead by flying buttresses located on the exterior of the building.
		The development of Flamboyant Gothic was interrupted by the Hundred Years' War and mature examples of the style do not appear until the fifteenth century, with few structural innovations occurring in the intervening period.
		The simple austerity and harmony of Cistercian architecture had a strong impact on the Franciscans and, in the early fourteenth century, Santa Croce in Florence was built in a style that signified the marriage of Gothic architecture and Franciscan simplicity.

	Architecture
		On either side of the four-storey gate-tower - which, like much of the façade, dates from the 1440s - are two ranges, each of two storeys, battlemented with dormers.
		Originally equal in length to its western counterpart, the range to the east was extended in the mid-sixteenth century, lending the façade a pleasing irregularity.
		These were built between 1704 and 1706 by Dr. George Clarke, a prominent fellow of All Souls and (though not a professional architect) the leading architectural light of early eighteenth-century Oxford.

		Within such a context, the painter was able to show men, women, and children in a full range of postures and poses, as well as their diverse emotional reactions and states.
		More than any other of his buildings, the Villa Rotonda was the inspiration for Palladianism, the English architectural movement that dominated building design in the 18th century in England and its colonies.
		Tintoretto was devoted to optical effects, dramatic foreshortenings, unusual compositions, and virtuosic renderings of light, all splendidly demonstrated in his 56 huge paintings (1564-1587) for the Scuola di San Rocco in Venice.

	Alberti, Leon Battista History Summary
		In the history of architecture he played a key role as a designer and in deepening contemporary understanding of the buildings of classical Antiquity.
		One of the tasks he undertook in these years was the survey of the city's ancient monuments, and when his friend Parentucelli became pope, he took on many planning projects for the renewal of Rome.
		In his architectural treatise Alberti had described beauty in building as an organic phenomenon that arose from the balanced interrelationships of a structure's constituent parts.

	Paintings in the 1440s
		A large payment was made in 1447 for St Bernard's Vision of the Virgin (National Gallery, London), produced for the Palazzo della Signoria, as well as final payments for the Coronation of the Virgin, made for Sant'Ambrogio, which was commissioned in 1441.
		The Annunciation in the Church of San Lorenzo is among the most successful paintings of Lippi's middle period, with a daring balance of figures, architecture, and landscape.
		Many critics have presumed an interlude during the late 1440s when Fra Filippo was strongly attracted to the painting of Fra Angelico to such a point that a direct collaboration between the two masters has been postulated for the Adoration of the Magi, a tondo rich in detail and incidentals.

	Architecture
		Stylistically, the quadrangle is built in a somewhat austere variant of the Perpendicular Gothic that prevailed in fifteenth-century England.
		The Perpendicular favoured the rectilinear over the curvilinear of earlier Gothic architecture: flowing forms were replaced by straight verticals and horizontals, while elaboration and plasticity were rejected in favour of an emphasis on rigid, panel-like effects.
		At All Souls, these characteristics can be seen clearly in the absence of elaborate mouldings in the door- and window-jambs, and in the simple, ‘squared-off’ tracery that fills the windows of the Chapel.

		Although the portrait also developed as a specific genre in the mid-15th century (see Portraiture), Renaissance painters achieved the greatest latitude with the history, or narrative, picture, in which figures located within a landscape or an architectural environment act out a specific story, taken either from classical mythology or Judeo-Christian tradition.
		The direction taken by Masaccio was shared by his contemporaries, including Paolo Uccello, who was much taken with the pictorial potentialities of linear perspective.

		In addition to its historical significance as the primary church of Russian Orthodoxy (and thus as the site of all manner of coronations, funerals, victory services, and intrigues), the Cathedral is notable for its accomplished architectural and decorative elements.
		Its frescoes, icons, and the elaborate Throne of Monomakh are of particular interest for visitors, as is Fioravanti's archetypal synthesis of traditional Russian ecclesiastical architecture.
		It was raised by Ivan III in the late 1440s on the foundations of a much earlier and more modest church and has been damaged, repaired, enlarged, and altered on numerous occasions since then.

		Usually such frames were architectural, and architectural frames had been around a long time and were used in different ways.
		Throughout the Hours of Joanna of Castille, these architectural frames function as oratorios, more complete and inclusive than the ones implied by the borders of the Hours of Mary of Burgundy, which here, by virtue of their openness and leading steps, invite us into the space.
