George E. Street y el Gothic Revival
Abstract
George E. Street (1824-1881) is considered one of the most outstanding designers of Gothic Revival during the splendor of the United Kingdom in Victorian times, with GG Scott, W. Butterfield, or W. Burges. He represented through his prolific work, a period charged with symbolism around a canonical style with a marked religious accent that Pugin considered as an ideal of nation. Therefore, he was subject to opinions that defended, on the one hand, the purist sense in the management of style, related only to the influence of English Gothic, and on the other hand, the inclusion of some continental influence related to the rest of Europe. A style that not only had to do with the strict sense of its application to a new work, but also in how it was applied in the innumerable reforms, extensions and restorations of which an infinity of Gothic buildings were object. To this extent, the present investigation delves into the stylistic resources handled by George E. Street and how his work was consecrated not only in the field of architectural design but also in the design of furniture and accessories.
