What’s In

Characteristics of Renaissance and Baroque Periods

The Renaissance period for art began in the 1400s in Italy, which today is
considered the art capital of the world, together with Paris. This period was
considered one of the most important in Europe’s history as it marked the transition
from medieval times into early modern age. The Baroque era soon followed in the
1600s, as another transformation came about when the church began to divide
between Protestants and Roman Catholics. It is no wonder many creations in this
period were recreations of famous works in the Renaissance era.

The Baroque style is characterized by exaggerated motion and clear detail

used to produce drama, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture, painting,
architecture, literature, dance, and music. Baroque iconography was direct, obvious,
and dramatic, intending to appeal above all to the senses and the emotions.

While Renaissance art is characterized by the fusion of Christianity and

science to create realism through art.

 What is it

THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT

During the 18th century, a new movement swept through Europe and created
a radical change in politics, science, and art. The Age of Enlightenment was partially
a reaction to the Industrial Revolution, as the world witnessed the importance of
technological innovation for the advancement of humankind.
This age of reason and enlightened thinking dominated Europe, inevitably
birthing two important eras in philosophy and visual art. Neoclassicism and
Romanticism competed side by side, bringing creatives together to express emotion
as well as a love for the classics.
While Neoclassical art was more rooted in paying homage to classical Greco-
Roman art, the Romantic era placed the emphasis on encapsulating emotions like
fear and horror in visual form.
Neoclassicism and Romanticism were the movements after the Rococo period
that flourished across Western Europe and the United States which spanned
approximately from the late eighteenth to the nineteenth centuries.
Even today, both periods have influenced many contemporary artists for their
exceptional beauty, exquisite details, and elaborate drama. So let's check out a few
notable artists and innovators from this time.

NEOCLASSICAL PERIOD
A. NEOCLASSICISM, 1780s:

• The word” neoclassic” comes from the Greek word “neos” meaning “new” and
the Latin word “classicus” which is similar in meaning to the English phrase
“first class”
• The name given to Western movements in the decorative and visual arts,
literature, theatre, music, and architecture that draw inspiration from the
"classical" art and culture of Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome.
• The main Neoclassical movement coincided with the 18th century Age of
Reason (Age of Enlightenment)
• The art style was brought about by the renewed interest for Greek and Roman
classics.
• Neoclassical art pieces generally portrayed Roman history; they elevated the
Roman heroes.

6
Characteristics:

• brought back and depicted Roman history

• formal composition
• the use of diagonals shows the apex of emotion/moment (versus a regular
moment)
• local color
• overall lighting
• classic geo-structure

NEOCLASSICAL PAINTING

Neoclassical artists embraced the

ideals of order and moderation in which
artistic interpretations of classic Greek
and Roman history were restored to
realistic portrayals. Neoclassical painters
give great importance about the
costumes, settings and details of
classical subject-matter without adding
distracting details but with as much The Oath of the Horatii (1784)
historical accuracy as possible. Jacques-Louis David

David,_L_Serment_des_Horaces.jpg

The challenge: few original Greek and Roman paintings existed for painters to use
as a model
➢ Little interest in light and color
➢ Coldness, excessive linearity, lack of movement

The themes:
➢ Mythological
➢ Portrait
➢ historical events

NEOCLASSICAL SCULPTURES

The Neoclassical period was one of the great

ages of public sculpture. Artists looked to Roman
styles during the time of Alexander the Great for
inspiration as well as to mimic their style.

Sculpture evolves from complex & dynamic

Baroque styles to calmer and more balanced
compositions

Characteristics:
➢ Modeled after Classical Greek sculpture
➢ Classical traditions: mythology, portraits,
commemorative arches
➢ Idealization of reality: search for ideal
beauty, serene expressions, etc.
➢ Use of non-polychromed marble or bronze

NEOCLASSICAL ARCHITECTURES

Neoclassical architectural styles

started in the mid-18th century. It
turned away from the grandeur of
Rococo style and the Late Baroque. In
its purest form, Neoclassical
architecture was a style principally
derived from the architecture of
Classical Greece and Rome and the
architectural designs of the Italian
architect Andrea Palladio. The Panthéon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:20190406-
DSC5193_Panteon.jpg

Characteristics:

➢ grandeur of scale
➢ symmetrical form
➢ dramatic use of columns
➢ triangular pediment
➢ domed roof

B. ROMANTICISM, 1800s-1810s
• A movement in which the artists of Neoclassical period sought to break new
ground in the expression of emotion, both subtle and stormy.
• It embraced several distinctive themes, such as a longing for history,
supernatural elements, social injustices, and nature.
• Landscape painting became more popular due to the peoples’ romantic
adoration of nature
• It is a reaction to the classical, contemplative nature of Neoclassical pieces.

Characteristics:
➢ shows the height of action
➢ emotional extremes
➢ celebrated nature as out of control
➢ dramatic compositions
➢ heightened sensation (life and death moments)

8
Figures/Portraits

The paintings of the Romantic period focus on emotion. Artists expressed as

much feeling and passion as it could be on to a canvas.

Landscape Paintings

Landscape painting depicts the physical world that surrounds us and

includes features such as mountains, valleys, vegetation, and bodies of water. The
sky is another important element shaping the mood of landscape paintings.
Landscape art ranges from highly detailed and realistic to impressionistic, romantic,
and idealized.

ROMANTIC SCULPTURES

Romantic sculpture can be divided into works that concern about the human
world and those that concern the natural world.

GOTHIC REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE (NEOGOTHIC)

Gothic Revival, also referred to as Victorian Gothic or Neo-Gothic, is an

architectural movement that began in the late 1740s in England.

Many of Neogothic buildings feature castellation in which the walls and towers
are crenelated in imitation of medieval castles. Indeed, heavily castellated Neogothic
buildings have been often referred to as “castles” even though they never served as
a defensive structure. Among them was Strawberry Hill (demolished and restored),
the most famous work of the decorative phase of the Gothic Revival.

2 from the Neoclassic and
Romantic Periods

What’s In

NEOCLASSICISM AND ROMANTICISM

The early 18th and 19th century were the thrive of both Neoclassicism and
Romanticism. It flourished across Western Europe and the United States. Several
factors affected the rise of the Neoclassical movement. One of which is the exposition
of classical sites, like the Pompeii- and the Athens, and thus lead to expansion of
knowledge about ancient art. On the other hand, those who sought a new way of
expressing found the Romantic movement, which embraced several distinctive
themes such as historical nostalgia, supernatural elements, social injustice and
nature. It took a variety of forms in the early times, but the focus moved away from
thought towards the feeling. They argued that humans are not only creatures of
reasons. This principle was still evident as how we interpret art today. We tend not
just to classify art as transaction of facts but also a way of expression.

TEMPLE STYLE Guards who were massacred in 1792 during
the French Revolution.
Temple style building design was based on an ancient temple. These buildings
were uncommon during the Renaissance as architects of that period focused mainly
on applying classical elements to churches and modern buildings like palazzos and
villas.

Many temple style buildings feature a peristyle (a continuous line of columns

around a building), a rare feature of Renaissance architecture.
Most famous Temple Style buildings of the Neoclassical age:

Some of the buildings feature a balustrade which is a railing with vertical supports
along the edge of the roof. There are vertical supports within a balustrade or as
“balusters” or spindles” t is also a classical method of crowning a building that has
a flat or low-lying roof. One of the famous architects in the era was:

1. Andrea Palladio (30 November 1508 -19 August 1580)

- He was an Italian architect active in the Republic of Venice

- Inspired Palladian architecture
- Palladio's work was strongly based on the symmetry, perspective, and values
of the formal classical temple architecture of the Ancient Greeks and Romans.

2. Robert Adam (1728-1792) Britain Architect

- He was a Scottish neoclassical architect and interior designer.

- He was known as the Palladian architect of the Neoclassical who designed two
well-known American civic buildings
