Biedermeier

The Biedermeier period (1815–1848) was an artistic and cultural style that developed in Central Europe, especially in Germany and Austria, during a time of political stability after the Napoleonic Wars. It reflects a focus on comfort, family, and everyday life, with an emphasis on simple, elegant design and functional furniture. Biedermeier artwork and interiors feature clean lines, subdued colors, and a sense of coziness, highlighting the importance of personal intimacy and modesty. This style also influenced literature and music, emphasizing clarity, order, and relatable themes.
