Neoclassicism
Neoclassicism refers to an artistic style that emerged in the late 18th century and lasted until the early 19th century. It was heavily influenced by the classical art and culture of ancient Greece and Rome. The style became famous for its emphasis on rationality, order, and simplicity, in contrast to the ornate and extravagant Baroque art of the previous era. Neoclassical artists sought to revive the ideals of ancient art, focusing on classical subjects, clean lines, and balanced compositions. Prominent years for Neoclassicism include the late 1700s and early 1800s, with its peak coinciding with the French Revolution. This style gained popularity due to its reflection of the Enlightenment values that were prevalent during the time.
