Post-Gothic

Post-Gothic is an appearance of the Gothic architecture motives in the Renaissance and the Baroque epochs. The main features of the style are the continuation of the motives of the Gothic architecture, like the rib vaults, pointed arches and the tracery windows. These motives were frequently mixed with the motives of ancient origin, like the columns or entablatures.
