Neoclassicism (Art)

A European revival style based on ancient Greek and Roman art, architecture, literature, and culture, prevalent during the late 18th and the 19th centuries. Aided by the archaeological discoveries of the remains of Pompeii and Herculaneum, the movement used CLASSICAL MOTIFS and techniques to convey SYMBOLIC and often moral messages. Neoclassical COMPOSITIONS are generally balanced and controlled.

Neoclassicism (Art History)

The Nazarenes broke up as a group in the 1820s, but their ideas continued to be influential. Cornelius had moved in 1819 to Munich, where he surrounded himself with a large number of pupils and assistants who in turn carried his style to other German centres. The studio of Overbeck (the only one to remain permanently in Rome) was a meeting-place for artists from many countries; Ingres admired him and Ford Madox Brown visited him. William Dyce introduced some of the Nazarene ideals into English art and there is a kinship of spirit with the Pre-Raphaelites.

Neoclassicism (Art Movements)

An 18th-century reaction to the excesses of Baroque and Rococo, this European art movement tried to recreate the art of Greece and Rome by imitating the ancient classics both in style and subject matter.
