Beaux-Arts  Beaux-Arts, meaning "fine arts" in French, refers to a neoclassical architectural style and academic tradition that originated in 19th-century France and became influential throughout Europe and the United States. Characterized by its grandiose scale, formal symmetry, ornate decoration, and classical design principles, Beaux-Arts architecture sought to integrate elements of Greek, Roman, and Renaissance aesthetics into monumental public buildings, civic spaces, and cultural institutions.
Inspired by the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, which emphasized rigorous training in drawing, drafting, and design, Beaux-Arts architects and urban planners aimed to create cohesive urban environments and civic landmarks that embodied principles of order, proportion, and civic pride. Notable examples of Beaux-Arts architecture include the Grand Palais and Petit Palais in Paris, the New York Public Library, and the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., all of which reflect the enduring legacy and monumental aspirations of this influential architectural style.
