1. Neoclassicism (c – 1820)
A reaction against the frivolity of Rococo (pendulum swings back)
Reflects the Enlightenment’s gospel of reason, logic & orderliness; The art of the Enlightenment and French Revolution
Archaeology-mania swept Europe as Pompeii was uncovered (in 1738), influencing art and architecture, thus neoclassicism….
backgrounds include Roman arches and other classical architectural details

2. Neoclassical Style Precisely drawn, seriously portrayed figures
VERY smooth, almost traceless, brushstrokes, so as to seem like the painting is polished
Symmetry and straight lines replace the irregular curves of Rococo
In architecture, replicas of Greek and Roman temple facades
The order and solemnity of the art is meant to inspire and uplift, especially with regard to civic virtues and duty.
