NEOCLASSICISM AND
ROMANTICISM
 In the middle of the 18th century, Neoclassicism was born out of rejection of
the Rococo and late Baroque styles. Romanticism began in the same era but its
approach had to do with the modern or new rather than the traditional. Their
influences today were highly visible through the style of paintings, sculptures
and other artworks adopted by the well-known artists internationally and also
by some of our National Artists. Some of the existing architectural structures
convey the traits and characteristics of such periods.
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 gives
great importance about the costumes, settings and details of
classical subject-matter without adding distracting details but with
as much historical accuracy as possible.

 JACQUES-LOUIS DAVID (1748-1825)
- France Jacques-Louis David is an influential French
painter in the Neoclassical style, and considered to be
the pre-eminent painter of the era. His subjects of
paintings are more on history.
• JEAN-AUGUSTE-DOMINIQUE INGRES (1780-1867)
--France Ingres is a pupil of JacquesLouis David and is
influenced by Italian Renaissance painters like
Raphael. His paintings are usually nudes, portraits and
mythological works. He is regarded as one of the great
exemplars of "academic art" and one of the finest “Old
Masters” of his era.

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

ARCHITECTURE

18th century. It turns away from the grandeur of Rococo style

Italian architect Andrea Palladio.
