Doric Revival. Until
c.1570 the Greek
Doric Order was virtually unknown, and, even when the Greek temples at
Paestum began to be taken seriously by
Winckelmann and others in C18, aroused controversy, as they were perceived to be deformed, crude, and ugly by eyes accustomed to
Palladian refinements. Only when primitive,
Antique themes began to be explored did Doric begin to be appreciated, and it became a powerful element in
Neo-Classicism and in the
Greek Revival.
