1 Neoclassicism (c. 1780 – 1820)  A reaction against the frivolity of Rococo  Reflects the Enlightenment’s gospel of reason, logic & orderliness  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.
