Amazing Artworks

Architecture is truly an astonishing form of art not only because of its large scale but beauty of the work that is present in the work. In the late 14th century you can see a mixture of styles in the architecture.
 
This is the Orvieto Cathedral designed by  Lorenzo Maitani in Italy in 1310. I think this is a great example of architecture that has not only the Gothic style in that time period but also influence of the French style. It has amazing detailed work on the exterior of the cathedral.


This is the interior of the Florence cathedral designed by Arnolfo Di Cambio and others in 1296. This shows more of the greatness of architecture in the interior of a cathedral. Most of the time in the interiors of the cathedrals the main focus seems to be the ceiling. Although this picture is different from the one in our books, I like way it shows how the sunlight shines in the day. I also really like the arches in the ceiling and the grandeur of it all.
