Greek Revival

The Greek Revival was a style of classical architecture which became fashionable at the end of the 18th century. It rebelled against the fussy Palladian style (after Andrea Palladio) which was based upon classical Italian styles and relied for its beauty on the form and proportions of ancient Greek temples.
