In architecture, the lines are straight and very symmetrical. Why do think that this room and stately residence were likely built during the Classical Period?

Builders looked to older styles (medieval Gothic) to design their masterpieces ~~ grand and inspiring. Paintings were of lovely settings, often about life in the country or of elegant people.
