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.
Neoclassical architecture in Milan Neoclassical architecture in Milan encompasses the main artistic movement from about 1750 to 1850 in this northern Italian city. From the final years of the reign of Maria Theresa of Austria, through the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy and the European Restoration, Milan was in the forefront of a strong cultural and economic renaissance in which Neoclassicism was the dominant style, creating in Milan some of the most influential works in this style in Italy and across Europe. Notable developments include construction of the Teatro alla Scala, the restyled Royal Palace, and the Brera institutions including the Academy of Fine Arts, the Braidense Library and the Brera Astronomical Observatory. Neoclassicism also led to the development of monumental city gates, new squares and boulevards as well as public gardens and private mansions. Latterly two churches, San Tomaso in Terramara and San Carlo al Corso, were completed in Neoclassical style before the period came to an end in the late 1830s.
