A Little Light History On French Doors

The French return home with victories in battle as well as architectural influences of the Italian Renaissance. Symmetry and proportion characterized the artwork of the period and is still evident in the French doors of today by the use of symmetrical panes of glass.How is it that this artistic expression is still alive and well in the 21st century?
