Greek Revival

Japanese: グリーク・リバイバル(英語表記)Greek Revival
Greek Revival
Greek Revival (style). Refers to the rediscovery and application of Greek style, seen primarily in neoclassical architecture from the mid-18th century onwards. The start of this movement was the publication in 1762 of The Antiquities of Athens by J. Stuart and N. Revett, based on field research. From this time onwards, a succession of artists and intellectuals began to visit Greece, and Lord Elgin brought back to England the marble sculptures from the Parthenon in Athens (the Elgin Marbles).

ギリシア復興(様式)。18世紀中葉以降の新古典主義建築の中に主として見られるギリシア様式再発見と応用の動きを指していう。スチュアートJ.StuartとレベットN.Revettが現地調査にもとづいて1762年に出版した《アテネの古代遺物》が,この機運の出発点となった。この頃からギリシアを訪れる芸術家や知識人が相次ぎ,エルギン卿はアテネのパルテノン神殿の大理石彫刻をイギリスに持ち帰る(エルギン・マーブルズ)。
