Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the style of architecture, decorative arts, and painting in France from the late 18th to the early 19th centuries. Similar to the Gothic Revival in England, the style reflects Gothic forms and ornamentation and a sentimental and historicizing interest in Medieval subjects, techniques, and dress.
