Ce gothique tardif [le flamboyant] persiste dans l'architecture religieuse, hors d’Italie, jusqu'au milieu du XVIe s., alors que la Renaissance triomphe dans l'architecture civile. Jamais complètement oublié, il connaît un regain de faveur au XIXe s., sous la forme du néogothique, surtout en Allemagne, en Angleterre et en France.
