Before The 19th Century we had discussed abit of Noeclasism, this was before the Romanticism era.

In The Neoclasism Era , Design had started changing to a more sophisticated era where everything was a rich and finer.

This was Because at that time ruins where being discovered of ancient rome and Greece. Thats when The british homes started Changing to more of a classical style.

 



The Fashion in the neoclasicsm era has been inspired by the greeks as seen in this picture.

 Even the Architecture. Pillars where quite popular in the neoclasism era as they showed as sign or dominance and the fact that you ahve money.




The Romanticism Era

The Romanticsm era was between 1750 to 1870.

The romanticsm era was a change from the neoclasism era as this gave more of a rich vibe. This was the era were alot of taughts were given off, because alot has changed due to the industrial revolution. There was a large nostalgia that went back to the neo Gothic era and the architecture went back to that style of housing.

This was the male romaticism style, it was less of a grand and rich look but it was still formal and smart.

Since the nostalgia of the neo gothic thae architecture was with the pointed tips but it still had its own style to it because the design was not fully neo gothic.





There were mixed feelings during this era , Idividualismn, Tragedy & even rebellion.

These are all examples of paintings that describe the mixed feelings of the romanticism era.
