Wikipedia
Biedermeier
The Biedermeier period was an era in Central Europe between 1815 and 1848 during which the middle class grew in number and the arts appealed to common sensibilities. It began with the Congress of Vienna at the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 and ended with the onset of the Revolutions of 1848. Although the term itself derives from a literary reference from the period, it is used mostly to denote the artistic styles that flourished in the fields of literature, music, the visual arts and interior design. It has influenced later styles, especially those originating in Vienna.

biedermeier
Biedermeier refers to an artistic style that originated in Europe during the 19th century between 1815 and 1848, specifically in middle-class households in Austria and Germany. The term is primarily used in relation to two main areas: the visual arts (including furniture design, graphic arts, and interior design) and in literature/music. Biedermeier works are known for their simplicity, elegance, and functionality, often evoking a sense of comfort and sentimentality. The term "Biedermeier" itself is derived from a fictional character, portrayed as a comfortable and content middle-class citizen, created by German journalists to satirize the era's bourgeoisie.
