"Architecture: Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries" by Henry-Russell Hitchcock is a scholarly account written in the late 20th century. This work explores the evolution of architectural styles and movements from the Romantic Classicism of the early 19th century to the Modernist movements of the mid-20th century. It delves into significant architectural developments, highlighting key figures, styles, and their cultural contexts, making it an extensive guide for anyone interested in architectural history. At the start of the text, Hitchcock sets the stage by discussing the significant historical context that shaped architecture around 1800, particularly noting the impact of the Napoleonic Wars on building production. He introduces the concept of Romantic Classicism, commenting on its emergence from the Baroque style as architects began to embrace new aesthetic ideals influenced by various cultural movements. The early chapters emphasize the cross-cultural exchanges among architects from different countries, particularly focusing on key figures like Jean-Nicolas Servandoni and the influence of the English Picturesque, as they contribute to the foundational ideas that later led to diverse architectural expressions in the 19th and 20th centuries.
