Historicism (art)
Historicism or historism comprises artistic styles that draw their inspiration from recreating historic styles or imitating the work of historic artists and artisans. Lucie-Smith, Edward. ''The Thames and Hudson Dictionary of Art Terms''. London: Thames & Hudson, 1988, p. 100. This is especially common in architecture, where there are many different styles of Revival architecture, which dominated large buildings in the 19th century. Through a combination of different styles or the implementation of new elements, historicism can create completely different aesthetics than former styles. Thus, it offers a great variety of possible designs. Overview In the history of art, after Neoclassicism which in the Romantic era could itself be considered a historicist movement, the 19th century included a new historicist phase characterized by an interpretation not only of Greek and Roman classicism, but also of succeeding stylistic eras, which were increasingly respected.

The Lakes, Copenhagen
The Lakes () in Copenhagen, Denmark is a row of three rectangular lakes curving around the western margin of the City Centre, forming one of the oldest and most distinctive features of the city's topography. The paths around them are popular with strollers, bikers and runners. History The area where the lakes now reside was originally one long stream with an arch shape, just outside the city levees. In the early Middle Ages, a need for water to power watermills spurred the construction of a dam, which in turn caused the creation of the Peblinge Sø. As a result of a siege of Copenhagen in 1523, the city decided to expand the entrenchments to improve the fortifications of the city. The levee at Peblinge Sø was expanded and another lake, the Sortedams Sø, was created. In the beginning of the 16th century, further damming created the Sankt Jørgens Sø. This made it possible to flood the banks and lakes in case of an attack. Peblinge Sø and Sortedams Sø also served as reservoi ...
