The Monumental Gothic Lancet Window of the Duomo di Milano: Architectural and Ornamental Analysis (14th–16th Century)

2605

Created during the Late Gothic to early Renaissance period, spanning from the late 14th century through the 16th century (reflecting the multi-generational construction campaigns of Milan Cathedral under various master builders and architects).

Architecturally, it serves as a grand clerestory/aisle window designed to flood the vast interior space with natural light while expressing religious transcendence, divine hierarchy, and Milanese civic magnificence.
