Description

The transition to the reign of Victoria was characterized in religion, social values, and the arts by a shift in tone away from rationalism and toward romanticism and mysticism.

Georgian society and its preoccupations were well portrayed in the novels of the great writers such as Jane Austen, & the grand architecture of Nash & Robert Adams & Capability Brown‘s landscapes. The flowering of the arts was most vividly shown in the work of the Romantic Poets such as Byron.

The paintings of Gainsborough, Constable & Joshua Reynolds illustrated the changing world of the Georgian period.
