# Interior view [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [ARCHITECT, Italian]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary In Tuscany and throughout Central and Southern Italy the surviving non-military architecture of the late fourteenth century consists of often attractive continuations of earlier traditions and of sometimes strange and occasionally distinguished architectural details. One of the most attractive architectural oddities is the internal reconstruction of the Duomo \(Cathedral of St. Martin\) at Lucca, started in 1372 and finished in the fifteenth century. The distinctive feature of the design is the system of arcading. It roughly corresponds to the triforium in northern Gothic architecture and runs without a break across the transepts. There are two wide, traceried openings to each bay; the traceries are paper-thin, and the effect already striking in the nave, becomes extraordinary in the unusually wide transepts. ## Related artworks - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Apse of a basilica]() - [Arsenale Gateway]() - [Arsenale Gateway]() - [Basilica di Sant'Antonio: Chiostro del Noviziato]() - [Basilica Santi Nereo e Achilleo]() - [Ca' Foscari: Façade]() - [Chamber of the millers]() - [Chiesa dell'Incoronata: Interior of the dome]() - [Cloister gallery]() - [Detail of the façade]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
