Neoclassicisms

Neoclassicism refers to a movement in the arts that drew inspiration from classical Greek and Roman art and literature. It emerged in the 18th century as a reaction against the excesses of the Baroque and Rococo styles, emphasizing simplicity, order, and rationality. Neoclassical works often feature clean lines, symmetry, and a focus on idealized forms and subjects. This style can be seen in architecture, sculpture, painting, literature, and music, influencing various aspects of European and American culture during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
