  5. Neo-Classicism • A rejection of the Rococo • “The ancients set the bar (Rome and Greece), and now we must try to surpass them.” • Based on: • Restraint of emotion • Simplicity (or clarity) • Following convention is more important than the desires of the individual artist • At first revolutionary, but eventually bogged down by overly rigid rules endorsed by the government and conservative society (later rebelled against by the Romantics)

  6. The Biggest Namesin Neo-Classicism • Jacques Louis David (1748-1825) • Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780-1867)
