Classical Revival

Classical Revival, also known as Neoclassicism, is an architectural and artistic style that emerged in the mid-18th century, inspired by the art and architecture of ancient Greece and Rome. It emphasizes symmetry, proportion, and the use of classical elements like columns, pediments, and domes. This style aims to evoke a sense of grandeur, order, and timeless beauty, often reflecting ideals of democracy and rationality. It has been used in buildings such as government structures, cultural institutions, and monuments, embodying a reverence for classical principles and aesthetics.
