the Abbey Church of St. Denis is a beautiful example of early gothic arcetecture as it has many widows with pointed arches. as well as esposed ribbing in the cieling and has a very heave look because of the amount stone used in it's building.

I feel like the Nicola Pisano, Pulpit from the baptistry shows this. It has the arches and subject matter of the gothic style, however, there are stronger themes of classical art scattered throughout it; such as the rounded arches and natural dreapery.
