What was the architectural art style that can be found at the Beardsley Historic District and is taught at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris?
Beaux-Arts architecture Beaux-Arts architecture ( ; ] ) expresses the academic neoclassical architectural style taught at the "École des Beaux-Arts" in Paris. The "style" "Beaux Arts" is the cumulative product of two-and-a-half centuries of instruction under the authority, first, of the "Académie royale d'architecture" (1671–1793), then, following the French Revolution of the late 18th century, of the Architecture section of the "Académie des Beaux-Arts" (1795– ). The organization under the "Ancien Régime" of the competition for the "Grand Prix de Rome" in architecture, offering a chance to study in Rome, imprinted its codes and aesthetic on the course of instruction, which culminated during the Second Empire (1852–1870) and the Third Republic that followed. The style of instruction that produced Beaux-Arts architecture continued without major interruption until 1968.
Henry II style The Henry II style was the chief artistic movement of the sixteenth century in France, part of Northern Mannerism. It came immediately after High Renaissance and was largely the product of Italian influences. Francis I and his daughter-in-law, Catherine de' Medici, had imported to France a number Italian artists of Raphael's or Michelangelo's school; the Frenchmen who followed them in working in the Mannerist idiom. Besides the work of Italians in France, many Frenchman picked up Italianisms while studying art in Italy during the middle of the century. The Henry II style, though named after Henry II of France, in fact lasted from about 1530 until 1590 under five French monarchs, their mistresses and their queens.
