Notre Dame is a gothic cathedral on the eastern half of Paris, France.
The gothic art is based on the pointed arc. The pointed arc forms part of the gothic art and it was born in the Borgoña romantic. It practices less resistance than the one of the middle point that supports, and its stylist figure allows an esthetic that will be fully exploited by the gothic.
The pointed arch offers to the buildings slenderness and uprightness. In the 13th century they were very opened, which is the pointed classic arch. In the 14th century they become more pointed and high, and in the 15th century they used and specific arches.
In Gothic buildings, the weight of the roof was supported by the arches rather than the walls. This meant that walls could be thinner.
At conclusion, I think that the Notre Dame Cathedral is an amazing representation of the gothic art, and that’s why this building is the most significant construction of this current.
