Sažetak
Semicircular arch, lintel and vault are present throughout the Gothic period, spanning from the late Romanesque to the Early Renaissance. At Transition times there might be reminiscences. i.e. tiniy hints regarding the traits of the "neighbouring" styles. Practical everyday needs, regarding both form and function, called for variants. Although not as common as the basic shapes, they are nevertheless just as important as the other elements of Gothic architecture. Semicircular arches can usually be spotted in certain architectural details (portals. door-posts, windows, arches); they often result from particular influences (e.g. from a master's Bohemian training), and cover longer spans. The use of the semicircular arch in groin vaults is a phenomenon we are not even aware of, and yet it is present throughout the Gothic period as one of the basic, immannet traits of the style. ln other words, the Gothic style comprises semicircular Iintel, arch and barrel vault, depending on circumstances and the capacity of the master, not necessarily on trends.
