  12. Neoclassical Architecture

  13. It expresses a reaction of the bourgeoisie against Rococo -the reaction of virtue against decadence- and intends to simplify. It carries along some of the basic ideas of the French revolution, glorifying the great virtues of antiquity and accepting paganism, adding science to emotion. During the empire, the values of the roman civilization are promoted. • Neoclassicism does not only adopt antic ideals; due to the contemporary development of archeology, it also tries to reproduce Greek and Roman forms with a precision the artists of the Renaissance had not looked for. http://www.tam.itesm.mx/art/neoclas/ineocl01.htm

  18. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the United States, in search of foundational models to replace its former reliance on Great Britain, turned to examples from the ancient world, particularly the Roman republic, and, to a lesser extent, ancient Greece. Americans associated classical Greece and Rome with the virtuous, anti-aristocratic political and cultural ideals they hoped would prevail in the United States. Ancient Romans founded the first republic--a representational government in which power is held by the people and representatives are charged with the common welfare of all the people in the country--and Americans were anxious to emulate this model. Their growing interest in the art and culture of the ancient world was part of an aesthetic movement known as neoclassicism. http://www.learner.org/amerpass/unit04/context_activ-2.html

  19. Neoclassical ideals also permeated American art and architecture. Artists eagerly adopted Roman models, creating statues of political and military leaders like George Washington wearing togas and crowned with laurel wreaths. . . . But it was in architecture that the American neoclassical aesthetic achieved its best expression, a fact that was largely the result of Thomas Jefferson's commitment to infusing American buildings with classical principles of order and reason. • http://www.learner.org/amerpass/unit04/context_activ-2.html

  20. Thomas Jefferson, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, 1819-26 http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/fa267/Jeffersn.html

  21. Thomas Jefferson, Virginia State Capitol, Richmond, VA, 1785-89 http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/fa267/Jeffersn.html

  22. Washington, D.C., was conceived of as a grand neoclassical city made up of orderly avenues and imposing government buildings. • Because the city was built from scratch on a rural landscape, Jefferson and the other planners were able to plan it as a carefully designed exercise in neoclassical order and harmony. • http://www.learner.org/amerpass/unit04/context_activ-2.html

  23. Neoclassical Gardens

  24. The overriding impression of such gardens is of man's tyranny over nature.

  25. Nature Emotion: sentimentality // nostalgia // melancholy Imagination: exotic // ecstatic // fantastic // gothic the sublime Subjectivity Spontaneity Mysticism Romanticism

  26. Sweet is the lore which Nature brings; Our meddling intellect Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things We murder to dissect --William Wordsworth “Tables Turned”

  27. Romanticism • "Romantic" relates to the French word, "Roman," meaning novel (as in a book). Art and Architecture tells a story in a captivating way. Grabs and holds your attention. • http://www.bitdegree.ca/intranet/courses/IMD1000/CourseNotes03-7.html
