Neoclassical Style

The Neoclassical Style emerged in the late 18th century and reached its peak in the early 19th century. It was inspired by the classical art and architecture of ancient Greece and Rome. Neoclassical artists sought to revive the ideals of order, reason, and simplicity that characterized the classical period. Famous for its clean lines, symmetry, and restrained elegance, this style was highly influential in the fields of architecture, sculpture, painting, and design during the time of the French Revolution and Napoleonic era.
