Gothic Revival Architecture

Gothic Revival Architecture is a movement that emerged in the late 18th and 19th centuries, inspired by medieval Gothic styles. It emphasizes dramatic vertical lines, ornate details, and elements like pointed arches and intricate stonework. This style often evokes a sense of nostalgia and romanticism, aligning with the broader Picturesque movement, which values aesthetic beauty in nature and architecture. The Gothic Revival aimed to create structures that resonate emotionally, blending history with artistic expression, evident in buildings like the Houses of Parliament in London and various churches that seek to inspire awe and reflection.
