This article discusses the perspective that Henry Hobson Richardson gained from his travels in Paris, France. Richardson described one of his signature works, Trinity Church on Copley Square in Boston, Massachusetts, as building inspired by the 11th century Romanesque architecture found in the Aquitaine region of central France. The author maintains that Richardson's perspective on French Architecture came from 19th century French sources, particularly Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-Le-Duc and Léonce Reynaud, on the subject rather than direct impressions from period buildings. The relationship between Richardson's work and the American approach to the architectural style developed by the French Ecole des Beaux-Artes in Paris, France is explored. |
