Abstract (en)

Challenges the validity of the view that manifestations of the Renaissance outside Italy are somehow inferior. Proposes that a consideration of French architecture provides a paradigm for the existence of a longue durée in the history of art (the long duration of phenomena as opposed to a history of events). Takes the example of the treatment of the allège (window parapet), with its entablature which continues to appear in France regardless of the seeming imposition of individual stylistic motifs. This conditioned the way the Italian model was received in France, and helps determine what is characteristic about French Renaissance architecture.
