| The Palace of Industry |
| During the 19th century historical architectural styles were frequently copied. Between c. 1800 and 1840 this applies especially to the neo-classicism (such as the French Empire or the German Biedermeier), around 1860 to the neo-rococo and at the end of the 19th century to the neo-renaissance and neo-. All these architectural styles are shown in elaborately decorated clock cases. The most important Dutch late-19th century architect was P.J.H. Cuypers, who became especially renowned for the neo-renaissance style Rijksmuseum and the Amsterdam Centraal Station (1889), as well for his many neo-gothic Roman Catholic churches. However, an alternative development emphasized the constructive elements and their industrial mass production. International exhibitions of modern products were a result of this phenomenon. The Paleis van Volksvlijt (Palace of Industry) in Amsterdam by C. Outshoorn (1864) was constructed using this method. |
