Florentine Gothic

Florentine Gothic is a style of architecture and art that developed in Florence during the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance (14th-15th centuries). It combines traditional Gothic elements, like pointed arches and intricate windows, with emerging Renaissance ideas emphasizing harmony, proportion, and realism. This style is characterized by elegant, vertically-structured designs with detailed stonework, often seen in churches, palaces, and sculptures. Florentine Gothic reflects a transition period where artistic focus shifted from medieval ornamentation toward the balanced symmetry and human-centered themes that define the Renaissance.
