_____________________________________________________________
The Gustavian style is primarily characterised by its adaptation of French Neoclassicism, and its relative simplicity. Key elements of the style include: Symmetry and proportion: Following classical ideals, Gustavian design adhered to strict symmetry, with geometric shapes and balanced proportions.
The style is marked by a return to classical ideals, with a focus on restrained decoration, symmetry, and proportion. The Gustavian style is often described as a reaction against the excesses of Rococo, seeking simplicity and elegance, while maintaining classical references.
