Framed Gothic Architecture Art

The French cities abound in such buildings and there are many churches and cathedrals featured in the framed Gothic Architecture Prints. The pointed arch is just one of the easily recognizable features, as connoisseurs will also distinguish the ribbed vault or the flying buttress. The Chateau de Chenonceaux on the Loire Valley in France has enjoyed ample coverage in artwork, ranging from paintings to photos. Many ecclesiastical buildings have also survived and the biggest ones are located in Reims, Paris and Tours, where they attract tens of thousands of tourists every year. The best of them have been included one the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Churches and castles are the best examples of Gothic Architecture, but equally impressive are the gothic details, which focus on distinct elements rather than an entire structure. R. W. Billings has a couple of drawings that capture the beauty of interiors, but also the grace of the columns and arches. Private dwelling erected in this style were less numerous, but there are universities and plenty of civic buildings that express the gothic style.
