Giorginal style

In Europe, the first phase of Neoclassicism

wasinfluenced by the books of the Italian Renaissance
architect Andrea Palladio (1508-80).

In the second half of the 18th century RobertAdam

(1760-1792) first popularized a simpler,
purerNeoclassical style based on excavations in
Herculaneumand Pompeii.

Both Palladian and Adam variations of Neoclassicism

are also referred to in terms of the reigning monarch
(1760-1820) as George III, or simply Georgian.
