Romanian Revival architecture

Nineteenth-Century Revival and Eclectic Architecture

Romanian Revival architecture, also known as the Romanian National Style or Neo-Brancovenesc, is an architectural style that appeared in the late 19th century within Romanian Art Nouveau, arising from attempts by architects such as Ion Mincu and Ion N. Socolescu to establish a specifically Romanian architectural style. It developed as a reaction against the earlier domination of French-inspired Classicist Eclecticism, drawing on the remains of earlier Romanian artistic production and reworking traditional forms and ornaments, and reached its peak in the interwar period with many houses, churches and institutional buildings built in Bucharest and elsewhere in Greater Romania. The style also extended into decorative arts, furniture, illustration and graphic design.
