What This Module is About
In this module, you will learn that:
In the middle of the 18th century, Neoclassicism was born out
of rejection of the Rococo and late Baroque styles. Romanticism
began in the same era but its approach had to do with the modern
or new rather than the traditional.
In this unit, you will learn about Neoclassical and Romantic
artworks. Their influences today were highly visible through the
4
style of paintings, sculptures, and other artworks adapted by the
wellknown artists internationally and also by some of our National
Artists. Some of the existing architectural structures convey the
traits and characteristics of such periods.
You are going to trace the art history and characteristics of
Neoclassicism and Romanticism along with various artists that
made names for each period.
Painting, sculpting, and modeling are the processes and
products that you will make for this Unit.

Music of the Neo-classic and
Romantic Periods

What I Need to Know
Neoclassicism and Romanticism were the movements after the Rococo period that
flourished across Western Europe and the United States which spanned approximately from
the late eighteenth to the nineteenth centuries.
NEOCLASSICISM, 1780-1840
The word neoclassic came from the Greek word neos meaning new and the Latin word
classicus which is similar in meaning to the English phrase first class.
The Western movement in decorative and visual arts was called Neoclassicism. It
also applies to literature, theater, music, and architecture at were influenced by the classical
art and culture of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.
The Neoclassical movement coincided with the 18th century Age of Reason also
known as the Age of Enlightenment. The art style in this period was brought about by the
renewed interest in Greek and Roman classics.
Neoclassical art pieces such as paintings, sculpture and architecture generally
portrayed Roman history which elevated the Roman heroes.
Characteristics:
• - portrayal of Roman history
• - formal composition
9
• - the use of diagonals to show the peak of an emotion or moment (versus a regular
moment)
• - local color
• - overall lighting
• - classic geo-structure
Neoclassicism:
This is the renewed interest in classical ideals and forms that influenced European and
American society through idea, politics and fine arts during the 18th and 19th century. It also
refers to the art forms created after but inspired by the ancient times. This period was derived
from the Classicism movement.
Classicism:
This is the period in which Greek and Roman principles and styles were reflected in society.
Be careful not to interchange the two terms. Classicism refers to the art forms
produced in antiquity or inspired by it afterward, while Neoclassicism always refers to
the art forms inspired by ancient times, but created later.
NEOCLASSICAL PAINTING
Neoclassical artists embraced the ideals of order and moderation in which artistic
interpretations of classic Greek and Roman history were restored to realistic portrayals.
Neoclassical painters gave great importance to the costumes, settings and details of
classical subject-matter without adding distracting details but with as much historical
accuracy as possible.
