Gothic revival

Isaac Kremer/ January 14, 2018/ / 0 comments

Gothic began to be revived in a fairly loose and historically inaccurate way during the C18. This rather insubstantial style is often referred to as Gothick. The more serious attempts to revive medieval styles, especially for churches, of the C19 are known as the Gothic revival. The most well known figure of this revival is the architect A.W.N. Pugin. The building of the new Houses of Parliament (designed by Charles Barry and Pugin) marked the acceptance of gothic for British public buildings. (Siker, 2018)
