Gothic cathedral bay - updated

Last crawled date: 1 year, 1 month ago

I wanted to update this as i have recently begun work again on this after a long brake, and because the elevation has now taken shape, with both the ailes and flying buttresses having taken shape. By no means finished though, I have yet to wrestle with things like the capitals and bases of pillars, lots of decarations etc. This is bay of a large Gothic cathedral. The cathedral is in the French Rayonnant style, mainly inspired and based on the choir of Beauvais cathedral that was built in the mid 13th century (before its collapse and rebuilding), as well as some elements of St. Denis basilica (mainly the triforium), Chartres cathedral, Amiens and the mid-13th century add-ons to Notre Dame of Paris. The unit of measure is the royal french feet that equals 0,325 meters, and the heigth of the choir is roughy 144 such feet and so is the with, as that was a very significant number to the medieval architects, and comes from the bible, especially revelations, indeed the Gothic masons strived to make a replica of the heavenly Jerusalem by their cathedrals. All the architectual elemnts I have made as precisely and historically accurrate as i can and I am quite proud of the result, esspecially things like the triforium and the clerestory windows. This is quite a big file, but i would really appreciate it if you would be patient, and i think it would be worth your while. - Please rate and review, thank you. #aisle #amiens #arch #architecture #basilica #bay #beauvais #cathedral #choir #clerestory #france #french #gargoyle #gothic #medieval #middle_ages #nave #notre_dame #rayonnant #rib #st_denis #tracings #triforium #vault
