Additional Information

Style: Eclecticism (1870-1890)

Towards the end of the 19th century, the taste for combining elements taken from various styles of the past asserted itself. The eclectic style is therefore characterized by the mixture of stylistic elements from the Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance and Neoclassicism in search of elegant compositional virtuosity.
