The History of Architecture in European Countries of the 19th Century

The History of Architecture in European Countries of the 19th Century by Shvidkovsky Dmitry Olegovich

This book tells about the architecture of all the main countries in Europe during the 19th century. For the first time, the architecture of the entire European continent during this period, including Russia, is examined as a whole: both geographically and historically. This century has usually been unfortunate in the history of art. It has been divided into parts, with the first half associated with the classicism of the Enlightenment era, and the second half, especially the end of the century, considered a precursor to modern times - the 20th century. Furthermore, originality and great discoveries, along with the changes that occurred in the construction art of Europe, pushed aside the Marxist-derived denial of multi-stylistic or eclecticism as movements that had their own regularities, theory, artistic values, and possibly a future.

The book is intended for architects, art historians, and the general public, especially for those interested in the history of architecture.
