Neoclassical Art

Origins

Neoclassical Art emerged in the late 18th century and lasted until the early 19th century. It was a reaction against the Rococo style and a revival of the classical principles of ancient Greek and Roman art. Neoclassical artists aimed to create works that embodied ideals of order, reason, and moral virtue. This style became famous for its emphasis on symmetry, clarity, and simplicity, often depicting heroic figures and historical themes.
