Style Came: Trinity Church in Boston, begun in 1872 and finished in 1877, shows the perfection of Rich¬ardson's individual style came. This style came evolved from his study of the Romanesque churches of southern France. The church is cruciform in plan, but the distance from apse Wall to facade is only a little in excess of the distance between the two walls of the transepts. A departure from the Gothic revival style came popular after the Civil War, this highly personal Romanesque style came of Richardson's had a powerful effect upon subse¬quent designs.
After a generation or so in which the Corinthian animal frieze style came, which seemed to go with the technique, threatened to stifle this tradition, a series of distinguished Athenian Vase painters established a style came in nar¬rative that put the Corinthian potters' quarter out of business and restored Athens to the dominant position in Greek art that it had enjoyed in the 8th century. The mid-6th century artists Exekias and the "Amasis Painter" typified the best of the Athenian style came.See Also Baroque Style Introducec:Petersburg, anc in the suburbs he erected such notable edifices as the palaces at Tsarskoye Selo (now Pushkin) anc Peterhof (now Petrodvorets).

Baroque. The baroque style replaced the auricular style in mid-17th century. The baroque returned to symmetry, introducing big bulbous forms and an ornamental vocabulary of fruit, flowers, and animals, broadly rendered in high relief, usually by embossing, a favorite technique in an age of economic recession, when the maximum effect was sought from thin silver.
On The Other Hand See Gen Style:The emancipation of the individual and the growth of a new community consciousness in the city gave rise to a new sense of the dignity of mankind as represented by the average citizen of the city-state. This humanism is most clearly reflected in the evolution of Greek art. The rigid formalism of Geometric art gave way to a freer representation of movement in a luxuriantly decorative gen style borrowed from the East, the Orientalizing gen style (700-600 B.C.). Subsequent developments (the archaic gen style of about 600-480 B. c.) subordinated the newly acquired free¬dom to a demand for naturalism.
Rococo. Classical baroque modulated into a lighter, more playful gen style in the early 1700's, and this trend culminated in the rococo gen style about 1725. Unlike classical baroque, rococo prefers asymmetry and searches for swirling movement and rich surface animation. Rococo is primarily an ornamental gen style, and the apparently irregular appearance of a rococo object is often found to be a matter of decoration, not of under¬lying form. The favorite decorative motifs are naturalistic.
