FRANCE - LOIRE VALLEY - LOIR ET CHER (41) - CASTLE OF BLOIS : MONUMENTAL STAIRCASE WITH SCREW, INTERIOR. "EXCAVATED LIKE AN IVORY FROM CHINA" ACCORDING TO BALZAC, COVERED WITH FINE RENAISSANCE SCULPTURES, ITALIANATE ORNAMENTS (STATUES, BALUSTERS, CANDELABRAS) AND ROYAL EMBLEMS (SALAMANDERS, CROWNS, "F" FOR FRANCOIS I, "C" FOR CLAUDE FROM FRANCE), IT OPENS BETWEEN THE BUTTRESSES BY LARGE BAYS ON THE COURTYARD OF THE CASTLE. ITS SLOPING, HELICALLY SHAPED VAULT, SUPPORTED BY EXTERNAL RECTANGULAR BUTTRESSES, MAKES IT A RECURRING SYMBOL OF FRENCH ARCHITECTURE IN THE RENAISSANCE AND HERALDS THE INNOVATIONS OF THE TIME ON STAIRCASE ARCHITECTURE, WHICH BECOME, MORE THAN FUNCTIONAL ELEMENT, A MAJOR AESTHETIC ADDITION.
