Neoclassical Architecture of the
18th Century
Overview of Neo-Classicism
 Art produced in Europe and North America from
the mid-18c to the early 19c.
 More than just an antique revival  a reaction
against the surviving Baroque & Rococo styles.
 Linked to contemporary political events:
 Revolutions established republics in France and in
America. [Neo-Classicism was adapted as the
official art style].
 Association with the democracy of Greece and the
republicanism of Rome.
 Napoleon  used the style for propaganda.
Overview of Neo-Classicism

• Neoclassical architecture is an architectural


style produced by the neoclassical movement
that began in the mid-18th century. In its
purest form it is a style principally derived
from the architecture of classical antiquity,
the Vitruvian principles, and the architecture
of the Italian architect Andrea Palladio.
Overview of Neo-Classicism

• In form, Neoclassical architecture emphasizes the wall


rather than chiaroscuro and maintains separate
identities to each of its parts. The style is manifested
both in its details as a reaction against the Rococo
style of naturalistic ornament, and in its architectural
formulae as an outgrowth of some classicising
features of Late Baroque. Neoclassical architecture is
still designed today, but may be labelled New Classical
Architecture for contemporary buildings.

*Chiaroscuro is an Italian artistic term used to describe the dramatic effect of contrasting areas
of light and dark in an artwork, particularly paintings.
Overview of Neo-Classicism

• Neoclassicism was symptomatic of a desire to


return to the perceived "purity" of the arts of
Rome, to the more vague perception ("ideal") of
Ancient Greek arts and, to a lesser extent, 16th-
century Renaissance Classicism, which was also a
source for academic Late Baroque architecture.

of Italian Cities

Pompeii in 1748.

Herculaneum in 1738.
2. Publication of Books on Antiquity

James Stuart & Nicholas Revert


Antiquities in Athens: 1762-1816.
3. Johann Winckelmann’s Artists Circle

$ Artists should “imitate”


the timeless, ideal
forms of the classical
world.

$ A circle of
international artists
gathered about him in
the 1760s in Rome.
German art historian.
CHARACTERISTICS of Neo-Classicism
$ Return to the perceived “purity” of the arts of Rome.
$ Model the “ideal” of the ancient Greek arts and, to a
lesser, extent, 16c Renaissance classicism.
$ A conviction that there is a permanent, universal way
things are (and should be), which obviously entails
fundamental political and ethical commitments.
$ Sometimes considered anti-modern or even reactionary.
CHARACTERISTICS of Neo-Classicism
• grandeur of scale
• symmetrical form
• dramatic use of columns
• triangular pediment
• domed roof

• Haussmann was a remarkable city planner, who created
a new urban plan of Paris from 1852 to 1879.
• • He demolished 20,000 houses in order to create 85
miles of straight avenues in Paris
• • He provided 354 miles of underground sewers,
enough aqueducts to double the city’s water supply,
gaslights, public fountains and parks and hundreds of
new buildings.
• • He aimed his new boulevards toward inspiring vistas,
with monuments like the Arc de Triomphe or the new
the Paris opera house as a focal point.
• • He transformed Paris from a medieval city to a “New
Rome”

Latrobe repaired the wings and designed a higher dome.

corn and tobacco for the traditional acanthus leaves

REVIVAL OF GOTHIC STYLE
• Gothic Revival or The Neo-Gothic is an architectural
style began in the 1840s in England. It grew rapidly as a
development of the neoclassical styles. The style
became widespread for its intrinsic appeal in the third
quarter of the nineteenth century.
• It spread rapidly to parts of Europe and beyond in
Australia, South Africa and the Americas.
• As industrialization progressed, reaction against
machine production and the appearance of factories
and huge buildings increased where proponents as
Thomas Carlyle and Augustus Pugin believed that pre-
industrial medieval society was a golden age.

monarchs are crowned.
• • Charles Barry and Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin won
the commission.
• • Barry was responsible for the basic plan, whose symmetry
suggests the balance of powers of the British system.

Creative Eclecticism
• By mid 19th century, the architectural thought was developed
further to see that referring to complete examples from certain
previous classical architecture no longer was acceptable.
• The ability of societies to accept and interact with more progressive
directions in design and architecture was increasingly improving,
driven by the continuous innovation of architects and the free
competition between the elite to acquire higher levels of these
innovations.
• Therefore, architects began to develop a new movement by
selecting certain elements from diverse styles for their designs.
• But it is important to notice that Eclecticism never formed a precise
movement or style in itself like mannerism.
ROYAL PAVILION 1815-23 ENGLAND
JOHN NASH
Royal Pavilion, Brighton, England
• The Royal Pavilion is a former royal residence located in
Brighton, United Kingdom.
• • It was built in the early 19th Century as a seaside retreat for
the thenPrince Regent.
• • It is often referred to as the Brighton Pavilion.
• • The pavilion’s architect, John Nash, was the leading
exponent of Picturesque architecture.
• • The Royal Pavilion reflects his wide range of styles,
combined without regard to consistency.
• • The main façade has an Islamic feel, with onion domes,
horseshow arches and minarets.
• • The interior combines Gothic, Chinese and Indian motifs.
neo-Palladian Chiswick House

Chiswick House is England's first and
one of the finest examples of neo-

• The house belonged to Richard
Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington, better
known as Lord Burlington, whose
taste and skill as an architect have
been frequently recorded.
• The "architect earl“ designed and
built it in 1726-9, with garden
design input from William Kent."
Arts & Crafts Movement

19th Century: Applications of Iron


Steel
Arts & Crafts Movement
With the development of machines and factory •
culture, the main drive of the economy was the
“production”.
Serious deviations from the old classical forms of art •
and design made the new products as bad
incoherent mixtures of classical and medieval forms.
Artists and architects started to seek freedom of the •
control and exploitation of the production machines.
William Morris (1834-1896)
He was a poet, artist and writer inspired by the writing of John Ruskin and •
the return to gothic architecture.
He “attempted to correct the dehumanizing effects of the Industrial •
Revolution by proposing a form of society in which people could enjoy
craftsmanship and simplicity of expression.”
He designed his own house (1859-1860) (the Red House) with the help of •
the architect Philip Web and designed every detail and the furniture of the
house to reflect the strong relationship with nature and natural materials
and to oppose any mechanization processes.
He then established a design firm which laid the foundation for the Arts •
and Crafts movement.
The designers of the Arts & Crafts period not only designed the interior spaces but •
they also created the furniture and accessories.
The Arts and Crafts style has two directions:
The cottagey look begun by Morris and Webb and •
evolved by Voysey, and afterwards, the more simple ,
more modernist feel of Mackintosh and Lutyens.
The inevitable use of ideas by small-scale builders •
making patterns of porches and doors migrating into
the informally designed houses.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-
1928)
Mackintosh reflected the relative styles at the end of the late •
19thCentury/ early 20thCentury.
His designs incorporated elements of both the Arts & Crafts •
movement as well as Art Nouveau. He completely avoided any
historicism in his work.
His work even hints toward early modernism with its strict •
geometries. Mackintosh is widely known for his furniture
designs.
He often used simple geometries and then exaggerated the •
features.
Mackintosh was one of the founding members of the Glasgow •
School of Art .
