Late Nineteenth-Century Architecture

The violence of revolutions and the transformations of the Industrial Revolution made the clear rationality of neo-classical architecture seem naive. Architects and other artists began to express emotion—as well as reason—in their structures, and this stimulated a new artistic movement called “Romanticism.” One sweeping movement, however, cannot characterize the 19th century. Instead, architects embraced movements as diverse as neo-Gothic and, at the end of the century, “art nouveau.” Engineers also saw the advantages of new uses for cast and wrought iron to change structures from buildings to bridges.
