Detailed Description
Classicism is a period in art history that refers to the art of the Western world from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. Classicism places a heavy emphasis on order, symmetry, and balance in both the subject matter and the composition of the work. The idealized and often heroic subjects of classical art were often drawn from mythology or history. Some of the most famous classical artists include Jacques-Louis David, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, and Antonio Canova. One of the most famous classical paintings is The Death of Socrates by Jacques-Louis David. Classicism was a major force in the development of Western art, and its influence can still be seen in many works of art today.
