4. With a few exceptions, although the Rayonnant gothic style continued in the early part of the century, architecture on a large scale eventually halted. WHY???? Germany did a Church of the Holy Cross with a beautiful Gothic style. However, the impact of the “Four Horsemen” was huge.

12. Arena Chapel, frescos by Giotto di Bondone Fresco secco: dry pigments applied after plaster is set (Dry) Fresco buono: pigments applied while pigment is wet.. Must work quickly before it dries.
