Herreriano style (English spelling)

Japanese: エレラ様式 - エレラようしき(英語表記)Estilo Herreriano
Herreriano style (English spelling)
The style is named after Juan de Herrera (1530-97), the architect of the El Escorial Monastery and Palace, a masterpiece of Spanish Renaissance architecture. This style embodies what King Philip II, the promoter of the Counter-Reformation, called "simple forms, strict overall structure, unpretentious elegance, and dignity without ostentation." It is a stern style that emphasizes pure structure itself, such as the symmetrical composition seen in El Escorial, the elimination of decorative elements, and rectangular openings.
