Collection: Neoclassicism

The Neoclassicism art movement, emerging in the late 18th century as a response to the excesses of Rococo, sought inspiration from the classical aesthetics of ancient Greece and Rome. Neoclassical artists, like Jacques-Louis David, championed rationality, order, and a return to classical ideals.

Picture clean lines, symmetry, and a focus on heroic themes and moral virtue. Neoclassical art often depicted historical and mythological subjects, portraying them with a sense of noble simplicity. The movement extended beyond paintings to influence architecture and sculpture, favoring grand structures reminiscent of classical antiquity.
