Isabelline Gothic
The term Isabelline style (also Isabelline Gothic ) are in the architecture of Spain buildings or parts of buildings dating from the reign of the Catholic Monarchs ( Isabella of Castile (reigned 1474-1504 ) and Ferdinand of Aragon (r. 1479-1516 ) ) summarized. It developed from the Spanish form of the Flamboyant style, which is sometimes referred to as Florido style. The Isabelline style is considered eclectic mixing style and as a transitional style between the late Gothic and the Renaissance; some see in him an early phase of the Plateresque style.
Architecture and architectural decoration
A characteristic Isabelline architecture does not really exist; Rather, there are elements of the ornamentation at which the peculiarity of the style can best fix. Here are of particular note: the frequent use of flamboyant forms of the Flemish late Gothic, of ogee arches and jagged arc shapes, some with Abhänglingen and - less frequently - by muqarnas forms from the Moorish and Mudejar art. Also, figures, and especially heraldic shields were popular. Particularly striking are the personal coat of arms or Namensssymbole of yoke ( yugo ) for Ysabella and bundle of arrows ( flechas ) for Fernando.
The Isabelline style knows no clear hierarchy of the components of the individual fields, or ornament of the figures shown. Large areas (especially portal facades) are - similar to the Moorish art - in horror vacui - style covered in decorative elements. Besides lying wall surfaces, however, remain completely unadorned.
Similar façade designs and decor ideas can be found more than two centuries later, in the architecture of the colonial Mexican Baroque ( cf. Santa Prisca ( Taxco ), San Francisco Javier ( Tepotzotlán ), Il Sagrario ( Mexico City) ).
