Victorian

Victorian architecture is a collection of architectural revival styles that were in vogue from the mid to late 19th century. The name itself evokes the reign of Queen Victoria, from 1Read more837 to 1901, often referred to as the Victorian Era. But a lot of the components of what we term Victorian architecture did not become famous until much later in the Monarch’s reign, around the 1850s and even later. The style was known for incorporating interpretations and eclectic revivals of different styles that have been celebrated throughout history. The name bodes the commonly practiced tradition in the United Kingdom and in France of naming architectural styles for a reigning monarch. But the true origins of these styles reach much farther back in history. It is, in a nutshell, a resurrection of varied and distinct architectural tastes that have proliferated through the ages. Photowall pays tribute to this elegant and particular type of architecture with its own collection of Victorian canvas prints. These images depict the manner and fashions of building and construction that have been incorporated into what would later be dubbed as the Victorian style. Hang a few of these Victorian canvas prints in your living room and feel the space infused with an air of elegance and sophistication.

Elegant in Victorian canvas prints

During the Victorian Era, and even all the way back to the Renaissance, a builder needed to be commissioned by a high-ranking member of the clergy, such as a bishop or a cardinal, to be able to build any structure of note. The kings and queens of the period had to approve its commission, and numerous other political personalities had to sign off on it. Needless to say, the building of any kind of structure was not a small undertaking. In a time when the Church and the state were just recently separated, the ramifications of being commissioned to build a structure of great magnitude lay heavily on the shoulders of the builder indeed. Photowall salutes some of the most momentous ever built with “Beautiful Dance Hall”, in its fine collection of Victorian canvas prints.

Perfected and celebrated

Artists, architects, and builders create masterpieces for as wide a variety of reasons as the structures themselves. Some do it for money, some for fame, some for their religious beliefs, and some to maintain their sanity. The great Victorian architects, Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin were said to be torn by such visions that they could only keep their mental state in balance by expressing them in their buildings. Every line and arch in these artists’ work reveals their torment. It is worthy to note that not all of Victorian architecture’s greatest masterpieces are displayed for all to see. Some magnificent creations and structures exist in massive basements underneath, that connoisseurs say, is where the real show begins. Most of the works that have been kept in these underground structures are deemed too valuable to be placed in public exhibitions.
