Slide11Facts About Neoclassicism
Neoclassicism is basically the movements in the arts that draw upon the Western classical art and culture, which is located around Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome.
The movement began around the middle of the 18th century, marking a time in art history when artists began to imitate Greek and Roman antiquity and the artists of the Renaissance
The characteristics of Neoclassicism art include Greek and Roman mythology. It usually has bright lighting, and a rather clean style, with hard edges and bright primary colors in painting and smooth, highly polished marble in sculpture.
