Flamboyant Gothic
Flamboyant Gothic is a style of architecture that emerged in France during the late 14th and early 15th centuries. It is characterized by intricate and elaborate designs, featuring ornate details such as pointed arches, elaborate tracery, and decorative stonework. This style often emphasizes verticality and light, with large stained glass windows that create vibrant interiors.
The term "flamboyant" refers to the flame-like shapes found in the decorative elements, which give the buildings a dynamic appearance. Notable examples of Flamboyant Gothic architecture include the Saint-Ouen Abbey in Rouen and the Saint-Maclou Church in the same city, showcasing the style's unique aesthetic and craftsmanship.
