CAST-IRON ARCHITECTURE
Cast-iron architecture is a form of architecture prominent between 1850 and 1890
Used iron as a building material, as in the case of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, designed by Gustave Eiffe
The iron and steel industry produced cast-iron, which allowed the construction of large buildings with fewer supports
In Spain, Velázquez Bosco built the Crystal Palace in Madrid with a cast-iron structure and glass walls.
MODERNIST ARCHITECTURE
Between about 1890 and 1920, a new architectural style developed in Europe, called Modernist architecture
Used the new materials such as iron, reinforced concrete and glass as construction and decorative materials
Modernist architects designed every aspect of the building
In Spain, Antonio Gaudí (1852–1926) practised complete creative liberty
Curves and wavy lines were the predominant feature with organic motifs
In Europe, the Paris metro entrances were designed by Modernist architect Hector Guimard
REALISM

IMPRESSIONISM
Impressionism was a style of painting and to some extent, sculpture, that began in France in 1870 and spread across Europ
It was an experimental style, in which artists tried to create an impression in the minds of the viewers
It was significantly different from traditional painting and is considered to be the beginning of modern art
POST-IMPRESSIONISM
From 1890 onwards, Impressionism was replaced by Post-Impressionism
This style had no common characteristics because each painter had their own style
