Abstract

Research on the development of art and architecture demonstrates that works created during different time periods clearly reflect the social and cultural attitudes underlying social discourse. With this in mind, it is not surprising to find that the middle class interiors of the nineteenth century were heavily influenced by artists and architectures. As the economic and social mobility of the middle class grew during this time period, so too did the impact of art on the homes of the middle class. Using this as a basis for investigation, there is a clear impetus to examine what has been written about middle class interiors of the nineteenth century. To this end, this investigation considers this issue in conjunction with the social influences that promulgated change in the middle class interior of the nineteenth century. Through a careful consideration of what as been written on this subject, it will be possible not only to examine middle class interiors of this time period, but also to identify how art evolved and change occurred in this specific environment.
