Tudor Style
In terms of architecture, painting, and the decorative arts, the Tudor period marked the transition between the end of Middle Ages and the flowering of the Renaissance. In architecture, Tudor style is identified with half-timbered houses and large brick-built palaces, a wealth of fine portraiture, and solid furniture.
