English Regency, British Greek Revival

Creative & productive period for architecture & decorative arts

Influences, forms & motifs from classical, medieval, & exotic sources borrowed & synthesized

Neoclassicism dominates

Romantic & Picturesque movements also influence

Formality & symmetry of classicism shape main character

Eclecticism & asymmetry enliven context

Mixture of influences creates unique, distinctive design image

More variety than before

2

Concepts

Classicism, which dominates, follows two paths:

Neoclassical lightness & stylistic purity

Designs with element from other sources, such as Italian Renaissance

Romanticism & the Picturesque provide greater eclecticism & range of styles

Romantics value past styles for visual & symbolic associations & the emotional responses they evoke

Picturesque admires visual qualities of landscapes

All three movements lead to associationism

Choosing a style by its intrinsic qualities & pictures, memories, & thoughts it evokes in viewers’ minds

Romanticism & Picturesque expand sources of inspiration

Middle Ages: Gothic, Tudor, Elizabethan

Exotic: China, India, Islam
