4. INTRODUCTION TO NEOCLASSICISM

perceived "purity" of the arts of Rome, the
more vague perception ("ideal") of Ancient Greek arts and, to a
lesser extent, sixteenth-century Renaissance Classicism

21. Victorian Gothic Revival
Between 1855 and 1885, John Ruskin and other critics
and philosophers stirred interest in recreating a more
authentic Gothic architecture, like buildings from
centuries before. The 19th century buildings, called High
Gothic Revival, High Victorian Gothic, or Neo-Gothic,
were closely modeled after the great architecture of
medieval Europe.

22. Perhaps the most famous example of High Victorian Gothic
architecture is Victoria Tower (1860) at the royal Palace of
Westminster in London, England.
A fire destroyed most of the original palace in 1834. After lengthy
debate, it was decided that architects Sir Charles Barry and A.W.
Pugin would rebuild Westminster Palace in a High Gothic Revival
style that imitated 15th century Perpendicular Gothic styling.
Victoria Tower is named after the reigning Queen Victoria, who took
delight in this new Gothic vision.
