The transitional period between the Art Nouveau style and Art Deco.

You get the elaborately ornate ornamentation, but without the loathsomely organic forms of true Art Nouveau. Almost a revisiting of the older Baroque style, but with more tolerance for plain surfaces in places and no gaudy gilding.

Whichever style the Palais du Louvre it tied to...

Truly a shame that Mitterand deemed it fit to tarnish with that ugly pyramid. He was the true socialist incarnate: Muslim-lover, destroyer of economies, and butthurt against french culture.

Truly I hate socialists in my country. Napoleon IV and liberalism when?

I'm a big fan of idealized renderings of pre-Christian Slavic architecture and civilization; one can imagine nothing ever really looked this way outside the realm of the imaginations of pan-Slavic fantasists but it's cool to imagine the depths of Eastern Europe as some kind of lost world
