Regency style - Regency style

Japanese: リージェンシー様式 - リージェンシーようしき
Regency style - Regency style
Regency generally means a regency. In art, it is used as a general term to refer to the taste for architecture and furniture during the regency and reign of King George IV of England (1811-30). Chronologically it overlaps with the final phase of the Georgian era, but stylistically it represents the second stage of the Classical Revival that preceded it, and runs parallel to the transition from the Directoire style to the Empire style in France. George IV, known as a free-spirited prince, had already developed an interest in the culture and customs of Greece, Rome, Egypt, the Middle East, and China, but he promoted this exoticism by employing the inventive architect J. Nash.

Japanese:
リージェンシーRegencyは一般には摂政制の意。美術では英国王ジョージ4世の摂政および在位時代(1811‐30)の建築,家具の趣味を包括的に示す語として用いられる。年代的にはジョージアンの最終的局面と重なるが,様式的にはその直前のクラシック・リバイバルの第2段階をなすものであり,フランスのディレクトアール様式からアンピール様式に至る様式変遷と並行する。すでにギリシア,ローマ,エジプト,中近東,中国などの文化・風俗への関心は高まっていたが,自由奔放な皇太子として知られたジョージ4世は,独創的な建築家J.ナッシュを起用し,この異国趣味を推進した。
