Lecture 3 - Ad - Neo - Classicisme - 07 - 10 - 20

This document provides an overview of Neoclassicism in art from the mid-18th century to early 19th century. It highlights key artists and works that exemplified Neoclassical ideals including a return to simplicity, order, and classical ideals of balance, proportion and restraint. Influential figures promoted Greek aesthetics and antiquities as the highest forms of art. Neoclassicism became the dominant style during the French Revolution as artists used classical references to promote Republican ideals of virtue and morality. The movement spread through painting, sculpture, architecture and beyond.
