Research<\/strong><\/p>\n Flamboyant style is an ornate form of Gothic architecture which evolved from the Rayonnant style, and flourished in French between 1350 and 15,00. The west facade of the Cathedral of Rouen built in 1370 is considered the birth of the style, the high point of Flamboyant architecture is the church of Saint Maclou at Rouen (as shown below).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n France is the homeplace of the style however it was adopted by Spain and Portugal in the 15th century.

\n<\/span>The Rayonnant style of architecture was bold, eye catching famously flamboyant. However, as time went on and the demand for flamboyance only increased, the Rayonnant style wasn\u2019t considered quite enough; and thus the Flamboyant style was born. Cathedrals such as Notre-Dame d\u2019<\/span>\u00c9pine and <\/span>Palais de Justice at Rouen<\/span>, France exemplify the new flamboyant style, which outdid the Rayonnant style in every way possible. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>The most common descriptors attributed to the style are \u201cflowery\u201d and \u201clacy\u201d which are both apt adjectives for it. Every surface was taken advantage of and used for decorative purposes. Facades in particular were the jewel of the style. They were painstakingly carved, and created \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>However perhaps the most recognizable aspect of the Flamboyant style are the stone window traceries ( the stone work which provided reinforcement between glass segments). Unlike many other variants of Gothic architecture, Flamboyant traceries are recognized by their distinct \u201cs\u201d shape compared to the more common round traceries of other Gothic styles. The traceries are often compared to flames or tongues.<\/p>\n![\"image](\"https:\/\/study.com\/cimages\/multimages\/16\/cathdrale_notre-dame_de_rouen_17101805733.jpg\")
