Gothic Revival (1830-1900)



St Patrick's Cathedral, New York City
built in 1858-1878
Gothic Revival Style
St Patrick's is a U.S. National Historic Landmark and is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The works of Gothic Revivalism were built in contrast to Neoclassicism which emphasized Greek culture. Gothic Revivalism emphasized Medieval culture and architecture. St. Patrick's Cathedral perfectly exemplified this art movement.
