Question

“Savageness” is the first of this style’s six “moral elements” described by John Ruskin in The Stones of Venice. A building designed by Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin (10[1])was inspired by an English type of this style called the Perpendicular. This style, whose revival was led by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc (“oo-JEN vee-oh-LAY luh dook”), succeeded the Romanesque. This style’s Rayonnant type was named for its characteristic large circular rose windows. (10[1])This style’s ribbed vaults are based on pointed arches that also inform the design of its flying buttresses. For 10 points, name this medieval architectural style exemplified by Paris’ Notre Dame cathedral. ■END■
