Overview and quickfacts
Neoclassicism was a Western artistic movement that drew inspiration from the classical art and culture of ancient Greece and Rome. The movement reached its height in the late 18th century and early 19th century, when artists such as Jacques-Louis David, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, and Antonio Canova created works that were characterized by their clarity, simplicity, and orderliness. Neoclassicism was a reaction against the ornate and often chaotic style of the Rococo, which preceded it.
The art style is also known as: Neoclassicism can be described as a return to classical antiquity, or a revival of classical antiquity.

Detailed Description
Neoclassicism was a Western cultural movement in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It drew its inspiration from the classical art and culture of ancient Greece and Rome. Neoclassicism was characterized by a return to the traditional values of order, symmetry, and balance. The Neoclassical movement was led by a group of French artists known as the Académie des Beaux-Arts. They advocated for a return to the classical ideals of beauty and harmony. Neoclassical artists such as Jacques-Louis David and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres sought to revive the grandeur of Greek and Roman art. Some of the most famous Neoclassical paintings include David’s “The Death of Socrates” and Ingres’s “The Valpinçon Bather”. Neoclassicism also had a significant impact on architecture, with many buildings constructed in the Neoclassical style. The Neoclassical movement came to an end in the early 19th century, replaced by the Romantic movement.
