HISTORICISM

Late 19th Century

Historicism is an artistic movement of the nineteenth century characterised by the creative reinterpretation and revival of historical styles. Drawing upon the artistic heritage of Classical Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Baroque, the Rococo and other earlier periods, artists and designers created works that met the aesthetic and functional aspirations of their own age. Historicism found its fullest expression in architecture, interior design and the decorative arts.
