Neoclassicism(1780s-1830s) The Neoclassic movement in painting began in the mid-1700s as a reaction to the decorative style of the Rococo movement. Unlike the garish excess of Rococo, neoclassic paintings featured clean lines and depicted heroic figures of Ancient Greece and Rome. Governed by the ideals of the Age of Reason, Neoclassic art was intellectual and restrained.

Why was it created? Neoclassicism arose from a rejection of the then-dominant style of art known as Rococo which was viewed to be frivolous and overcomplicating with its use of colors and curving forms. Neoclassical painters wanted to remove themselves from this approach to painting, and it found its ideal source: the past. At the time, classical antiquity became the popular motif with the archaeological discoveries and newfound interest in classical Roman and Greek societies. If the art of the new world represented a “decadence”, then painters turned to what was in their view a more composed, simple, and virtuous society for inspiration to paint.
