“Les Canéphores” (1852) by William-Adolphe Bouguereau.
Great example of mid-19th century academic classicism by the quintessential “establishment” artist of the time. Much like his contemporary Meissonier, sort of a guilty pleasure...

Architect Allison Beer McKenzie criticizes Trump’s proposed 90,000-square-foot White House ballroom, arguing it breaks classical principles of symmetry, proportion, and balance. Though trained in Classicism, most architects agree the addition disregards architectural harmony for political spectacle.

Love this infill proposal.
The actual architecture could use some refinement, since it is in the uncanny valley between classicism & glass box. Additionally lining up the stairs with blank walls in the adjacent building, so they could protrude beyond the box, could free up sf for better layouts.

A reminder really that there are good architects actually interested in classicism and there are bad architects (and associated gadflies) who see “classicism” as a path to whatever cynical thing they actually seek. Bob Stern would never do this project.
