Georgian Renaissance
The Georgian Renaissance refers to a cultural and artistic movement that occurred in Britain during the reigns of the first four Georgian kings, from 1714 to 1830. This period is characterized by a revival of classical architecture, literature, and the arts, influenced by the ideals of the European Enlightenment. Notable figures include architects like Robert Adam and writers such as Samuel Johnson.
During this time, there was a significant emphasis on elegance and symmetry in design, leading to the development of the Georgian style in architecture. The movement also saw advancements in various fields, including science and philosophy, contributing to a broader cultural transformation in British society.
