| | Neoclassicism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Neoclassicism continued to be a major force in academic art through the 19th century and beyond— a constant antithesis to Romanticism or Gothic revivals— although from the late 19th century on it had often been considered anti-modern, or even reactionary, in influential critical circles. | | | Neoclassicism (sometimes rendered as Neo-Classicism or Neo-classicism) is the name given to quite distinct movements in the visual arts, literature, theatre, music, and architecture. | | | Neoclassicism first gained influence in England and France, through a generation of French art students trained in Rome and influenced by the writings of Johann Joachim Winckelmann, and it was quickly adopted by progressive circles in Sweden. |

| | An important influence in developing the homoerotic aesthetic in neoclassicism was the noted scholar Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-1768), who, in his mid-eighteenth-century writings on ancient art, gave intellectual justification to the erotics of neoclassicism. | | | Because of the dominant position of males in both art and society, the neoclassical style is often referred to as masculine and is set in distinct opposition to the period and stylistic sensibility that preceded it, the rococo. | | | In sculpture, the most famous exponents of neoclassicism were the Italian sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822) and the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844). |

| | The height of Neoclassicism was displayed in the paintings of Jacques-Louis David and Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. | | | This period gave rebirth to the art of ancient Rome and Greece and the Renaissance as an opposition to the ostentatious Baroque and Rococo art that preceded the movement. | | | Also influential in the development was the cultural studies of German art historian Johann J. Winckelmann who claimed that the most important elements of classical art were "noble simplicity and calm grandeur." |

| | His effective use of it to build up forms and bind compositions can be admired in conjunction with his recurrent theme of female nudes bathing, or in his magnificent and stately portraits that depict the nuances of social status. | | | This new seriousness became more severe with the rise of Neoclassicism, a movement for which purity and simplicity were essential components of the systematic depiction of edifying stories from the classical authors. | | | Two painters, Jean-Antoine Gros (1771-1835) and Baron Gérard (1770-1837), followed David closely in style and in themes (portraits, Napoleonic history and legend), but often with a touch of softness and heroic poetry that pointed the way to Romanticism. |

| | neoclassicism question |
| | Like the "Age of Reason," the "Age of Neoclassicism" was really more an age in which the subject was argued about than one in which it dominated. | | | A Google search on "neo-classicism and literature" turned up, amidst -- as usual -- lots of garbage, an article by Thomas Kaminski in which a definition of neoclassicism (he's arguing we really ought to call it Augustanism) a bit later in our period -- and not so limited to theatre -- is offered. | | | Indeed, far from being vague or indefinable, the term "Augustan" is much more specific and useful than its terminological rival, "neoclassical." For, as all readers who are familiar with the various periods and styles of ancient literature know, there are many possible neoclassicisms, while Augustan techniques and values are easily distinguished from other classical movements. |
