GRAPHIC DESIGN HISTORY: 19TH CENTURY OF NEOCLASSICISM ARTIST AND ARTWORKS

19TH CENTURY OF NEOCLASSICISM ARTIST AND ARTWORKS

The term Neoclassicism refers to the classical revival in European art, architecture, and interior design that lasted from the mid-eighteenth to early 19th century. 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. Although the movement spread throughout Western Europe, France and England were the countries that used the style most frequently in their arts.

Some important neoclassicism artists with their artworks:

Ferdinand IV, King of Naples and his Family
Angelica Kauffman (1741-1807)

Cupid and Psyche
Francois Gerard (1770-1837)

Venus Comforting Cupid Stung by a Bee
