The historical and political definition of the Regency is the period from 1811 to 1820 when George, Prince of Wales, governed the country as ‘Regent’, or was appointed to administer the country, while his father, George III, was unfit to govern. During his time as Regent, George actively encouraged and acted as patron for many of the new movements in painting, sculpture, decoration, literature, music, technology and science.* This time period was seen as a rediscovery of the arts and thus influenced fashion, architecture, and even social & economical structures.
