Flamboyant Style: The 14th century was a barren time in French architecture, partly because the Hundred Years' War between France and England was fought on French soil. In the 15th century, however, Gothic revived in the Flamboyant style, so called be¬cause of the flamelike reversed curves of its tracery, possibly influenced by the English Decor¬ated style. The Flamboyant is best seen in parish churches like St. Maclou (1541), Rouen, with its bowed front. The Flamboyant vaults are more complex than the earlier ones, and the piers often have moldings that run without a capital from the arches down to the base.
Many popular music stations program a news¬cast twice each hour, usually on the hour and the half-hour In addition, the disc jockey pro¬vides time checks and weather reports between music selections.
Rock stations can be divided into distinct groups. Some feature a record playlist of the "top 40 records" as determined by various music survey charts. Others play a combination of folk tunes, rhythm and blues, and avant-garde rock music. Most disc jockeys on rock stations are well-versed in rock music, the artists, and the composers. They usually have a flamboyant style and ad-lib well.See Also Constituting A Style Quite:RENEE OF FRANCE, DUCHESS DE FERRARA, French princess, daughter of Louis XII: b. Blois, France, 1510; d. Monfargis,A his subject matter, all constituting a style quite peculiar to Guido. His Aurora forms a transition piece from his first to his second style. The work of Guide's third period commences, again but roughly, when he returned to Bologna, where he lived and taught in his latter years. The work of this period shows unfortunate evidences of haste in execution; his coloring has turned to a greenish and altogether unnatural grayness; and the general treatment is careless and weak.
Trinity Church in Boston, begun in 1872 and finished in 1877, shows the perfection of Rich¬ardson's individual style. This style evolved from his study of the Romanesque churches of southern France. The church is cruciform in plan, but the distance from apse Wall to facade is only a little in excess of the distance between the two walls of the transepts. A departure from the Gothic revival style popular after the Civil War, this highly personal Romanesque style of Richardson's had a powerful effect upon subse¬quent designs.
On The Other Hand See Catalan Style Of Architecture:In Barcelona, an aggressively bold Catalan style of architecture, whose chief exponent was Antonio Gaudi, developed in the early part of this century. See the unfinished Church of the Holy Family (Sagrada Familia), with its four enormously tall fluted pinnacles, and the fantastic Palacio de la Musica (Calle Alta de San Pedro) and the occasional Gaudian apart¬ment houses on Paseo de Gracia. The style consists, in part, of wild undula¬tions and "weeping plaster" effects like stalactites that have dripped for aeons in a high wind.
ROCOCO, ro-ko'ko, or ROCAILL, rokal-e', in architecture a name given to the debased style of Decoration which succeeded the
first revival of Italian architecture. The orr mentation consists of panels with their mo ings broken or curved at the angles and fill with rock-work, leafage, shell-work, musk instruments, marks, etc. This style prevail in Germany and Belgium during the 18th « tury and in France from the time of Henry ] to the Revolution. In departing from simplic: the true principles of Decoration were violati hence the bizarre character of this decorati soon failed to please.
