Date: ca. 1450-1500.In fifteenth-century France, the pointed arch formed by two simple arcs was often elaborated with two additional arcs, forming opposing double curves known as an ogee arch. Such an arch is frequently decorated with flamboyant, or flame-like, foliage and punctuated with rounded cusps and slender, faceted pinnacles. The effect was a sense of monumental scale far beyond the actual size of the doorway opening itself. The oak door is modern. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
