When most people think of the Victorian era, high fashion, gilded age, rich with elegance, splendor, and romance, strict manners, and rich or eclectic decorating styles come to mind - but it was so much more than that. Victorian era covers Classicism, Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism.
Paintings of the Romantic school were focused on spontaneous expression of emotion over reason and often depicted dramatic events in brilliant color.
Impressionism, a school of painting that developed in the late 19th century, was characterized by transitory visual expressions that focused on the changing effects of light and color.
Post-Impressionism was developed as a response to the limitations of Impressionism.
Victorian art was shown in the full range of creative developments, from the development of photography to the application of new technologies in architecture.
Victoria from 1837 to 1901. British Empire became the most powerful, and England the most modern, and wealthy country in the World.
